Windows – Google Chrome: How to select text with touchscreen

google-chrometouchscreenwindows 7windows 8

Is it possible to select (and copy after that of course) any text on web page using fingers and touchscreen?

I found only one opportunity – double tap selects single word under tap point. But I need to select more that one word!

IE10 works nice with selection, but Chrome do not? Google had missed that point?

Using Chrome 24.0.1312.57, Windows 8 Pro x86, touchscreen with two points.

Try this idea from List of Touchscreen + Google Chrome Problems :

  1. click on the start of the text that you want to select
  2. press & hold the shift key
  3. click the end of the text that you want to select
