How to copy/paste with dock/trackpad? - Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

I know on the the tablet, I just long press on the screen to choose the text. Is there a way to do it with just the trackpad and/or mouse?

Hold down button on trackpad.

That worked but I can't seem to get Ctrl + C to work in a browser.

That is not a shortcut that works.
You have to remember, Android is made for touch. When you hook up the dock, the trackpad basically plays the role of your finger.
Just plugging in the dock doesn't make the Prime a normal laptop- instead it is a tablet with its bluetooth keyboard solidly attached. True "transforming" tablets that convert from a mobile OS to a real OS when docked are years away.
Honestly I think its cool Asus rigged the shortcuts we do have.

Control+V for pasting.....oi

found a great way to select text
Press alt the drag across screen where you want to select. I find it easier and more intuitive than double tap then select.

or you can select by hovering the "arrow" over the text/word you want to copy, then touch the touchpad with 2fingers (long hold), the text/word will be selected.

Standard keyboard shortcuts work fine with Android as long as you have a keyboard.
CTRL - A (Select all)
CTRL - V (Paste)
CTRL - C (Copy)
CTRL - X (Cut)
All of these work fine in Android, and within the Android browser. I just tested this myself with my own Prime & keyboard dock. You can also use the Menu button in place of the CTRL button.
Also in the stock browser:
CTRL - T opens a new tab.
CTRL - N opens a new tab.
CTRL - I zooms in.
CTRL - O zooms.
CTRL - H opens history
CTRL - P opens settings.
CTRL - L highlights the address bar text
CTRL - B opens bookmarks.
CTRL - J opens recent downloads
CTRL - F opens text finder
CTRL - W closes selected tab
CTRL - R reloads current tab
CTRL - S opens the "share" menu.
CTRL - 1 goes to the first tab (other numbers open other tabs, in order from left to right.)
All of these are keyboard shortcuts included in the stock Android browser and are not added by Asus. They are intended to work with products like Google TV which uses a keyboard interface, as well as bluetooth keyboards and phones that have built-in keyboards.
For the OP:
If you find it hard to select text by clicking on the screen and holding, using the trackpad, click at the beginning or end of the text you want to copy and then hold shift and move across the text using the arrow keys. This will highlight the text and then you can use the keyboard shortcuts above to cut/copy/paste.

USB Mouse Functionality

I have a logitech laptop USB mouse that works w/ the dock, except for the scroll wheel. Is there some kind of settings screen for the mouse once you plug it in? Do I have any chance of getting this working properly? I also can't seem to hold down the button and highlight text for cut/paste.
Thanks,
Brian
Scroll wheel works fine here with a Razer Orochi
You can't highlight text on holding button since Android doesn't support it, just hold mouse button (like longpress on the screen) steadily and you'll be able to select text
My scroll wheel kind of works in some apps. It is useless though as it skips one line at a time and doesn't always even do that. Is there a way to get to a mouse configuration or setup screen somehow?

Moga Pro Controller Mode B HID and Order & Chaos Online
As long as you have a newer device, you don't even have to install the Moga Pivot app; just turn the controller on Mode B, enable Bluetooth on your device and connect. Once you establish the initial connection, my devices will automatically connect, just by turning the controller on and enabling Bluetooth. Once connected, just open your Order & Chaos Online app. Keep in mind, the controller doesn't offer 100% functionality, so you'll still have to use the touch screen for certain aspects.
At first, the controls were confusing, but after playing around with the controller some more, I’ve figured out just about every aspect of the controller.
Use the direction pad to navigate menus. Concerning gameplay, here's what I've figured out so far.

L1/R1(Long Press)======Hotkey Columns Left/Right
Skills & Spells can be assigned to X, Y, B, as well as the 2 columns of hotkeys, by long pressing and then dragging from the menus onto the desired slot.
As of now, I haven’t found any button to interact with NPC’S or to loot corpses. Gameloft hasn’t responded to my emails or request for support, aside from the generic rquest received email.
Hope this helps.

Figured it out at last! How to loot and interact with NPC'S! Press and hold X! I think this is everything... No need to touch the screen!

Any way to map the X, Y, B buttons (and others) to the 2 columns of hotkeys? I'd prefer to play with the 2 column hotkey open so that I can use more spells, but was unable to find a way to map button presses to the 2 column hotkey slots. I want my button presses to invoke spells in the 2 column hotkey menu instead of the standard 3 hotkey and jump menu.
I'm guessing when you say you can long press and drag that means you can add things to the 2 columns to invoked by a finger press.

Hardware keyboard/mouse custom layouts/shortcuts

Hi.
I'm using an Samsung Galaxy Note 12.2 (with ResurrectionRemix 5.8.5 ROM / Android 7.1.2) with an "Lenovo Compact Bluetooth Keyboard with Trackpoint". There are a few problems I need your help for:
1. The mouse keys are all treated as left click. I know there is no really right-click in android. But it would be fine to have custom actions on right-click and no click action at the scroll button. If you know the Lenovo/IBM Trackpoint you know it's great for scrolling. At the moment every click on the scroll button is treated as a normal click. This behavior can be very annoying.
2. Androids default keyboard shortcuts are not easy to handle. Search key (F10) + Backspace is hard to hit without looking at the keyboard. Is there a way to customize the shortcuts?

gamepad app (for droidtale) issue on android 12

hi i have a problem with undertale but also others if i had to use gamepad. is a small app that virtualizes a touch pad and is often used with dosbox. from the notifications you should press to display the pad but android 12 does not display this thing. the only way is to use "launch on exit" of another app called gamekeyboard + at that point the keyboard comes out in transparency and if undertale is already open then you can see it with the home keys open (closed the home / back / menu menu also closes the keyboard)
