Answer 1

In Ionic 4 add

* {

    -webkit-user-select: text;
    
    -moz-user-select: text;
    
    -ms-user-select: text;
    
    user-select: text;
    
    }

**to the global.scss file. ** But if you want to copy/paste only a specific tag text, add something like this instead in your global.scss:

.selectable {

    -webkit-user-select: text;
    
    -moz-user-select: text;
    
    -ms-user-select: text;
    
    user-select: text;
    
    }

And then add class="selectable" property to the tag.

Hope it helps
