[Bug] Mobile Selection doesn't support long press

[robinjhuang]

Bug Description

I ran the library under examples on an ios Simulator and local ios Device.

Expected behavior: Long press anywhere on the editor should open a "Select All | Select" pop up. Dragging in the editor should select all the text in the drag action. This is how native ios TextFields work.

Actual Behavior: You can only select text by double tapping.

Is this the desired behavior? Do I need to do anything special to achieve the "Expected behavior" above?

Thanks for the great work! Opening this to clarify something I haven't been able to figure out.

How to Reproduce

Open iOS simulator.

cd examples/lib
flutter run 

Click mouse, holding it and drag across some text.

Expected Behavior

Expecting the text to be selected on drag but it's not.

Operating System

ios

AppFlowy Editor Version(s)

1.5.0

Long press anywhere on the editor should open a "Select All | Select" pop up.

@robinjhuang tap at the same position twice will trigger the toolbar.

Expecting the text to be selected on drag but it's not.

I can't reproduce it. Do you mean that you can't select the text by dragging the handler?

Yes! I was expecting to be able to select the text on drag. Is this supposed to be supported? I can change this to a feature request if not. I thought all text on iOS supports select by dragging. Robin

The editor supports text selection by dragging the handlers. Is this what you want, just like the video shows?

Very close. I wish the AdaptiveTextSelectionToolbar would appear even when you press on a section without selected text. If you want to paste something for example.
