They are using OCR for selecting plain text?

It's possible to use the Gemini "ask me about this screen" to OCR the selected area of the screenshot. I guess that might be more efficient in some contexts then trying to use the native text select.

On iPhone too, taking a screenshot is the single reliable way to select text.
