[iOS] How to disable to long press & move it to other TextInput?

[jb7-coder]

Description

I would like to copy & paste the password fields from TextInput to other TextInput.
I set as contextMenuHidden as true to hide the context menu, as a result, context menu no longer is displayed.
But I still can select the value and move it to other TextInput.

• Select the value from first one.
• Holding long-press the selected string, then you are able to move it to other TextInput
• Move it to other TextInput
• Selected value is copied into other TextInput

Hello. What you are describing can already be done on iOS by default and there is no way to alter this behavior from the react native side unfortunately.

I tried creating this but later found out that this is already implemented natively, on both android and ios actually.

There is some minimal customization that can be done on the native side of iOS, however this needs to be connected to react native yet. One way would be TextInput to have a connection to drag and drop customization from iOS.

Thanks for submitting this issue, it was entertaining to figure this one out. Please let me know if you have further questions/comments. And sorry it's not the answer you were hoping to read.
