Items in a multiselection list can be selected with the stylus as well as with keypad. A tap on an item in the list moves the focus onto that item and toggles the item between the marked and unmarked states.
If nothing is marked when the left softkey is pressed, either the focused item is considered as selected, or nothing is selected. The aim is that if the user only wants to select a single item, this can be done by simply moving the focus to that item and pressing the left softkey (Done).
There are a number of tap/stylus drag + hardware key configurations for marking items in a markable list. These configurations depend on whether the device in question uses an ITU-T keypad with/without the Edit key, a full QWERTY keyboard, or no keypad at all. In the latter case, when there is only stylus in use, marking is done via the Options menu by selecting Mark/Unmark or Mark/Unmark all.
A markable grid works in the same way as a markable list.
The Cut, Copy and Paste functions are available in touch-enabled devices as normal. But along with the hardware keys, text selection can be done by dragging the stylus over a given text and selecting function from the Options menu or possible stylus pop-up menu. The dragging selection functions in editors but not in viewers.
