      maybe I missed this in the docs, but the new beta mentioned something about two finger gestures in the editor, so I tried a two finger drag in the virtual keyboard. while a one finger drag moves the cursor, the two finger drag starts selecting text, and moves one end of the selection bar! very cool, since activating selection is my least favorite thing about iOS.

        Just to clarify: On the extra keyboard row(s), that's been there since 1.0. The beta release notes refer to the system-wide 2-finger gesture support in the iOS 9 developer preview, i.e. gestures on the system keyboard itself, and not Pythonista's extra keys.

          This is super cool. I am on v1.5, and the 2 finger does the selection as described. such a time saver if you don't know it!

            I had no idea I could do two finger selection without iOS 9. Nice.

            A thought: have you considered providing the Pythonista keyboard as a globally available keyboard extension in iOS? I love it but hate switching between different keyboard in various apps.

              I've thought about that, but the experience of using third-party keyboards on iOS is pretty terrible imho, and the APIs are lacking. Plus, it doesn't look like this is getting any better in iOS 9 – actually it's getting worse because the standard system keyboard is getting additional features that are impossible for third parties to replicate.

                Regardless, my vote is for your keyboard omz! I hate every time I change apps. I have tried swift and quite a few of the other keyboards, I don't like them. I am not sure if I can have the exact Pythonista keyboard in editorial, but I wish I could. Maybe it's a setting I haven't discovered.
                But I have a lot of apps, so my comments are not Python centric. I would like your keyboard globally!
