How To Work With Text On HTC One
Learn how to work with text (select, copy, paste) on your HTC One. In apps such as the web browser and Mail, you can select and copy text, and then paste or share it.

- In a text entry field (for example while composing an email), press and hold at the point where you want to paste the text.
- Tap Paste.
Note: To copy the address of a linked webpage, press and hold the link, and then tap Copy link URL.

The HTC Sense keyboard on HTC One
Typing is fast and accurate with the HTC Sense keyboard.
- Turn on the Trace keyboard so you can type words by just sliding your finger from one letter to another.
- You can type words by just speaking.
- Word prediction also saves typing time. As you type, you’ll see word suggestions that you can choose from. You can even add words, phrases, and shortcuts to the word prediction dictionary.
- Just swipe right to access the numeric and symbol keyboard. Or swipe left to switch between languages.
- The keys have secondary numbers, punctuation symbols, or other characters that you can quickly insert without having to switch to the numeric and symbol keyboard. For example, just press and hold a key on the first row to insert a number.
- Choose from a selection of smileys and insert one right from the keyboard.
- Show or hide navigational arrow keys on the keyboard. If you enable the arrow keys in Settings, they’ll only appear on the portrait keyboard.
And since everyone has their own typing style, you can go to Settings to calibrate the keyboard so it learns how you type.
