Abstract
For one-touch user-defined context-aware text selection for touchscreen devices, an apparatus includes a processor and a memory storing code that is executable by the processor to determine a text selection context for a touchscreen device. The apparatus ascertains whether a text selection override policy is satisfied. The apparatus replaces application text selection rules with one-touch user-defined context-aware text selection rules for the determined text selection context in response to ascertaining that the text selection override policy is satisfied.
