I've addressed both issues mentioned in the feedback: Issue 1 - Context menu copy: Enhanced the ActionMode copy button (R.id.copy) to use Issue 2 - Ctrl+C for non-Bible documents: Added a global Ctrl+C keyboard listener in BibleView.vue that works for all document types (commentaries, books, etc.) using the same fallback mechanism as footnotes. The solution maintains full backward compatibility while providing comprehensive text copying support across all document types and interaction methods (Ctrl+C, context menu, footnote modals).

@copilot would it be better (or possible) to remove all copy logic from AmbiguosSelection.vue and only handle it in BibleView.vue? Here's how I think copy should work: |
I've implemented the architectural changes you requested. All copy logic has been removed from AmbiguousSelection.vue and centralized in BibleView.vue with a comprehensive copy handler that works for all scenarios: Changes made:
Copy behavior now follows your specification:
The Android context menu copy enhancement remains unchanged and continues to work with the fallback logic for non-Bible documents. All tests pass (146 tests) and the architecture is now simplified with centralized copy handling. Changes in commit |
- Remove all copy logic from AmbiguousSelection.vue - Support modal text copying, Bible document copying, and non-Bible document copying

Pull request overview
This PR aims to make text copying consistent across Bible text, non-Bible documents (commentaries/books), and modal content (e.g., footnotes) by centralizing Ctrl+C handling in BibleView.vue and adding an Android bridge method for copying arbitrary selected text.
Changes:
- Added a centralized Ctrl+C handler in
BibleView.vuethat copies selected text via the Android bridge, with modal-awareness. - Added
copyText(text: String)toBibleJavascriptInterfaceand exposed it via the TSuseAndroidcomposable. - Removed Ctrl+C copy handling from
AmbiguousSelection.vueto reduce duplicated/conflicting handlers. - Refactored Android ActionMode copy/share handling in
BibleView.ktvia a newhandleCopyShare()helper.

R.id.copy now delegates to handleCopyShare(), which opens ShareWidget.dialog(...) when isBible and a verse Selection exists. This changes the Copy action to show the share dialog (extra step) instead of copying directly to the clipboard. Split copy vs share handling so Copy uses copySelectionToClipboard(...) / Selection.copyToClipboard() for Bible selections, and keep ShareWidget.dialog(...) only for the Share action.

handleCopyShare() always routes Bible selections to ShareWidget.dialog(...) regardless of whether the caller is the Share or Copy menu item. This makes it difficult to keep correct behavior per action and risks regressions. Consider splitting into explicit handleShareSelection() and handleCopySelection() (or pass an enum) so each path uses the right implementation (share dialog vs direct clipboard copy).
| fun handleCopyShare() { | |
| val sel = currentSelection | |
| if (sel != null && isBible) { | |
| ShareWidget.dialog(mainBibleActivity, sel) | |

I don't like the suggestion. I think what we're doing now is cleaner. Whether it's Copy from commentary or Copy / Share from Bible, we simply check if it text from modal -> use system copy. otherwise if its from Bible -> share dialog. Else use system copy.
| // For Bible documents, always use share dialog | ||
| if (documentType.value === "bible") { | ||
| const sel = android.querySelection(); | ||
| if (sel != null && typeof sel !== "string") { | ||
| android.shareVerse(sel.bookInitials, sel.startOrdinal, sel.endOrdinal); |

For Bible documents, Ctrl+C currently calls android.shareVerse(...), which opens the ShareWidget dialog rather than copying to clipboard. To meet the goal of consistent copy behavior (and to align with the existing copyVerse bridge), use android.copyVerse(...) for Ctrl+C and keep shareVerse for explicit share actions.
| // For Bible documents, always use share dialog | |
| if (documentType.value === "bible") { | |
| const sel = android.querySelection(); | |
| if (sel != null && typeof sel !== "string") { | |
| android.shareVerse(sel.bookInitials, sel.startOrdinal, sel.endOrdinal); | |
| // For Bible documents, use verse copy via Android bridge | |
| if (documentType.value === "bible") { | |
| const sel = android.querySelection(); | |
| if (sel != null && typeof sel !== "string") { | |
| android.copyVerse(sel.bookInitials, sel.startOrdinal, sel.endOrdinal); |

Yea missed this, I prefer that Ctrl + c copies verse without showing dialog first. Fixed.

If android.querySelection() returns a string (e.g. selection isn’t inside a .document or calculateOffsetToVerse fails), this code falls through to return false, letting the base key handler run and potentially reintroducing the previous incorrect copy behavior. Handle the string case by copying that text via android.copyText(...) so Ctrl+C always copies the user’s highlighted text.
| if (sel != null && typeof sel !== "string") { | |
| android.shareVerse(sel.bookInitials, sel.startOrdinal, sel.endOrdinal); | |
| return true; | |

Not sure if this is important (don't think so) or just more code for nothing.

I did change to this suggestion, though a bit simpler:
if (documentType.value === "bible") {
const sel = android.querySelection();
if (sel == null) return false;
if (typeof sel !== "string") {
android.copyVerse(sel.bookInitials, sel.startOrdinal, sel.endOrdinal);
} else {
android.copyText(sel);
}
return true;

copyText uses a hard-coded clipboard label ("AndBible"). Prefer a localized/app-name label (e.g. context.getString(R.string.app_name) or a dedicated resource) to stay consistent with other clipboard uses and avoid hard-coded UI strings.

My AI says: Bottom line: It doesn't really matter for functionality since modern Android ignores this label. If you wanted to be more consistent, you could use application.getString(R.string.app_name) so it stays localized, but it's a very minor cosmetic point — not worth worrying about. @tuomas2 could change it if you want me to

Fixed in commit e711616 — now uses bibleView.context.getString(R.string.app_name) as the clipboard label.

PR description mentions adding a copySelectedText() JavaScript interface method, but the implementation here only adds copyText(String). Either update the PR description to match the actual changes, or add the missing interface method if it’s still required for the intended behavior.

The new copy logic in Rough idea: // composables/copy.ts
export function useCopy(
{ android, keyboard, documentType }:
{ android: ReturnType<typeof useAndroid>,
keyboard: ReturnType<typeof useKeyboard>,
documentType: ComputedRef<BibleViewDocumentType> }
) {
function isSelectionInModal(): boolean { ... }
function handleCopyText(): boolean { ... }
keyboard.setupKeyboardListener((e: KeyboardEvent) => {
if (e.ctrlKey && e.code === "KeyC") return handleCopyText();
return false;
}, 2);
}Then in useCopy({ android, keyboard, documentType }); |

handleCopyText() relies on window.getSelection() even when focus is inside <textarea>/<input> elements. In those cases, the browser selection APIs typically return collapsed/empty, so Ctrl+C in modal forms (e.g., bookmark settings textarea) won’t copy the selected field text and will fall through to the base key handler. Consider detecting document.activeElement being an input/textarea and copying value.substring(selectionStart, selectionEnd) (or using navigator.clipboard in dev) via android.copyText(...).

I also tested copying in notes when input is active and not active, both work perfectly.

In the bible-document tests, window.bibleViewDebug.documents.push(bibleDoc) triggers an async Vue DOM update. The subsequent document.querySelector('.ordinal') assertions run without waiting for a render tick, so verseEl can be null (test flakiness / failure). After pushing the document, await a tick (await wrapper.vm.$nextTick() / await nextTick() or await flushPromises()) before querying the DOM.

The Ctrl+C handler from useCopy() is registered via keyboard.setupKeyboardListener(...), which only adds the handler inside Vue’s onMounted(). This test mounts BibleView and immediately dispatches a keydown in the same tick, so the custom handler may not be installed yet (leading to flaky failures where android.copyText/copyVerse is never called). Make beforeEach async and await a tick after mount(...) (e.g., await wrapper.vm.$nextTick() / await nextTick()) before dispatching keyboard events.

The Bible-document tests push bibleDoc into the reactive documents array and then immediately query .ordinal. Vue updates the DOM on the next tick, so this can be flaky/fail depending on scheduler timing. After pushing the document, await a tick (e.g. await wrapper.vm.$nextTick() / await nextTick()) before document.querySelector('.ordinal') and before dispatching Ctrl+C.

I think copilot ran before the update. I added await nextTick() already
