Implement ⌘ (Command)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Currently to select a range of text you need to use "Select from here..."
and "Select to here and copy". This is not very intuitive for new users.
The MagicPad style selection (http://magicpad.proximi.com/video.php) may be
added to ℏClipboard for better short range selection support.

It should also detect the presence of Clippy, CopierciN and MagicPad to
avoid incompatibility.

another thing, you can insert 3 option at right:

1. A popup like italian-english translator (see issues #) with option
copy\cut\delete\clear clipboard
2. A selection button, click on this button and endable the selection like 
clippy etc.
3. The acutal two arrows

I think is better to have a "123 button style" for the switch from templates and
clipboard.

The button for the selection mode allow the user to have a classic precison 
edit and
the selection only when necessary.

sorry, issue #6

another good idea is to insert a classic undo\redo option.

I'm going to redirect the effort to another project called "command". See
CommandDesignConcept for detail. 

Since selection is not a "keyboard extension", I'm more in favor of creating a 
new
project instead. No matter how it will become, MagicPad-style selection will 
*not* go
into iKeyEx-dependent projects by me because that really exceeds the power a
"keyboard" should have. Therefore I'm changing the title & label here.

"Command" will be free of the keyboard and should allow copying from static 
text as
well. (But not rendered text or PDF or Word, etc, as usual) "Command" should 
replace
the need of hClipboard as a simple copy & paste front-end, so the situation 
will be
"Command" = Internal clipboard, "hClipboard" = MS Word's 20-entry clipboard 
(which I
never use :p)

Yes, this is good idea. At last the keyboard is a "command shell" and te 
functions are executed by a 
separated command project that you can improve separatly.

Is a good idea if you insert an options for enable or disable some 
"commands/function" (like selection, undo, 
redio, templates etc.).

In the future the pref panel/option window and the keyboard automatically check 
the status (on/off) and show 
or hide the function on the keyboard

(
Note to myself:
UITableViewCell's label is really a UILabel;
UIButton's label is also a UILabel, as well as a lot others in UIKit (thanks 
god)
mSMSBalloon<XXX>TextField is a subclass of UITableCell, use the `@property 
NSString*
text` property to get the text. If the text is just a UILabel (very likely 
not?) then
ignore this fact;
