How to select ALL text in web browser? On my Nexus One's built-in browser, I am able to copy web page text to the clipboard by:


selecting Settings > More > Select
text,
then dragging my finger from top to
bottom (of the screen), seeing page
content highlighted in pink,
then the moment I release my finger,
the pink highlight goes away and is
replaced by a friendly message:
"Text copied to clipboard".


I can then paste it to a clipboard "viewer" app (which is not really a clipboard viewer but rather a clipboard "paster").

The problem is that, no matter what I do, my finger doesn't seem to pick up the entire text on that page. There is always something missing: A few characters from the page start, or from the page end.

Is there something similar to Ctrl+A on Windows?
On my device running 2.2 Froyo, that method (from 2.1) was replaced by long-pressing on text to select it.  Two "handles" appear at each end of the selection, and you can drag them wherever you want (e.g. to the top and the bottom).  Maybe try that.  If it doesn't work, what Android version are you using?
