That's more of a process than simply selecting text on the task manager tile.

I guess. You have to hit the screenshot combo and then tap the screenshot, versus hitting the app-switcher button. Are you doing this often enough for that 1 extra step to be a big deal?

I’m increasingly finding great value in reducing complexity of simple tasks. I thought the push button rear door closer on my minivan was silly, but it came with it, so (shrug). I’ve grown to like it!

Reducing from a few steps plus a major context switch to just one step is valuable.

Where’s the context switch?

For me, yeah this would be a much different experience. I use this feature all the time, to select anything from the title of a song on Spotify to a phone number embedded in an image on the web.

In the latter case, you could just select the text in the image directly. How often do you use this feature per day?
