I am able to select the text in a message that I have sent, but I cannot figure out how to copy it. Is this possible?

Yes. Via the keyboard (“Terminal” mode).
Tap the >_ key, then the Menu key.
The Select All, Copy, and Paste context menu will appear.
Copy what you want, then open the app where you want to paste it, e.g. Text Editor. Then paste it.

Thanks! Worked perfectly. I selected by swiping over the text that I wanted to copy. That caused the keyboard to disappear, but I could tap the “keyboard” button in the bottom-right corner of the screen, which caused the keyboard to reappear with the text still selected. After that, I used your instructions.

By the way, if you tap into a single message and then Select All, the “All” means just that message, not the entire conversation. Trying to click in the white space to copy all the messages at once won’t enable Select All; however you can choose Archive chat from the preferences menu to save the entire conversation. That moves it from view to Archived Chats, but you can also unarchive it from there, which moves it back to the main list of conversations.

install the webpak version is the only way to have chatty up to date and have copy text features alone with crimson other than backports. So far webpak version of Chatty, wont be able to have notification sound, mms and sms are all configured well via flatseal.
I think you mean “flatpak”.
yeah, you are right, I was configuring webpak stuff while typing the reply. I use chatty from the flathub, everything works but the notification sound on the Crimson without the backports.
