Feature description

Add a setting to disable the copy to clipboard behavior on long press over comments. Or, alternatively, just increase the long press duration.

Why do you want this feature?

Often, while scrolling comments, I accidentally copy them to the clipboard. I find this annoying because I don't like the idea of filling it with a random comment. Also, the clipboard may contain something which I don't want to be overwritten.

Long-press duration is decided by your OS, so if you encounter this problem here I wonder what happens when you're browsing a webpage with links.

I suppose we could open a menu offering the Copy to clipboard option instead of doing so directly.

Long-press duration is decided by your OS

I didn't know. I changed this setting and my comment-scrolling experience has improved. However, I prefer to keep a short long-press duration when using other apps.

I wonder what happens when you're browsing a webpage with links

I paid attention to my scrolling habits and I found out that I tend to keep the finger on the screen after a scroll movement, because I need time to look at the content and decide whether I want to keep scrolling or to stop. The reason I never had problems on web pages is that links on a web page are usually sparse, so there's a low chance of hitting a link by accident. Instead, in NewPipe, the whole area of a comment triggers the action on long-press and there's no gap between these areas. Maybe the comment could be copied only when the user long-presses the comment header (the line with username and date). Otherwise, I'll try to change my scrolling habits.

Another alternative would be to place a clipboard icon opposite the commenter username. But that might cause a lot of clutter.
