Q: re OperaMini input screens: any way to "delete all"?

---

I understand the issues with OperaMini being java based, and so cut & paste doesn't work (except for secret Menneisyys relay methods )

And one workaround is the SIP softkeyboards that have built in cut-copy-paste functions... for example, I use PCM Keyboard, and, only within input fields, which open up a text page, I can copy, paste, etc.

But I have not seen: "Clear" or "Select all & delete". For example, I am composing a reply-Gmail on OperaMini, and I want to get rid of most of the prior reply that is carried onto my compose screen. I see no way to "select all" and delete.

The best I can do is go to the end of the whole text block, and hit delete key and keep hitting it repeatedly until the space is cleared. Even that would be okay if the repeat-key delete function was super fast, but it's super slow.

Any ideas?

QuickMenu, which I use (and is built into Ivan's ROM i am using for my T-Mobile wing) has some special copy-paste-select all-select all & copy functions, but I cannot seem to use them in conjunction with an OperaMini input page.

On Esmertec Jbed you just press cancel, and it exits the text input page without making any changes.
