 Isnt this part of Android now? When I copy I get a popup that you can select part of the text.  
 Hasn't worked for me since many Amethyst revs ago. Of course, somewhere along the line I transitioned to Pixel/Graphene OS, but copy/pasta was lost before that.

Was previously on Android/Motorola... 
 I think it's only if you have play services  
 I just picked up my old Moto phone, did an update of Amethyst, did a clean start of the app, and no, it does not work on the latest Amethyst downloaded from the Play Store.🧐🤔😢 
 It's been unavailable for quite some time on my device/playstore version as well. Just fyi.  
 This is what I get running graphene os. Selecting the copy text box copies the entire note

 Correct, when you press copy text, a popup shows up. Click on it and Android has a edit editor there.  
 I guess I don't know android, thanks 
 either way, if we redesign the way we render text, we can allow people to select parts of the note to hightlight and quote.  
 This should show up when you hit copy but I think on old devices and devices without play services like grapheneos this won't show up https://image.nostr.build/6e497a6e1e0dc9d2fe158231cd1fb9733d6320d4b185d9ed8dde2e4ecbd596df.jpg 
 This is correct. That is only on standard android, or possibly a few ROMs, but it is not on older versions or many de-googled ROMs.  
 This popup DOES appear on GrapheneOS regardless of Play Services being installed or not. https://image.nostr.build/d4635136be82992fb6d48d941cb01377b04a07e38baf43ad018d703970256ab1.jpg 
 I think it's not working when using a second profile. Can you test it on your device? 
 Tested and confirmed also spoke with dev team, this is upstream with AOSP unfortunately.
