Copy-paste is one of the most widely used commands on computers and phones; the process is seamless on a computer — you just highlight with your mouse, do the copying and then the pasting. The same step is not true on smartphones — it requires a thumb-friction job, which is not that enjoyable. Google must be aware of his hassle, and so it is testing a copyless-paste on its Chrome app for Android.

With copyless-paste, you wouldn’t have to rub your thumb over text to make the highlighting and copying — Google Chrome would instead make suggestions when it detects that you want to do copy-paste.

According to a report from VentureBeat, if you visited the website of a restaurant and later switch to use Google Map, on tapping on the search bar in the map app, the name of the restaurant would automatically come as a suggestion you can paste in the bar. However, if you are using Chrome Canary for Android in Incognito mode, the copyless-paste feature wouldn’t be able to detect keywords to use in its auto-suggestions.

Another concern about this feature is that there are speculations that the feature might not work on low-end Android phones running Chrome. But since the feature is still in a testing phase, let’s keep our fingers crossed till Google rolls out the feature.
