Predictive text or auto correction
The Google keyboard can provide predictive text input. As you tap the
letters of a word, a selection of words are displayed above the
keyboard that continue the sequence of letters tapped, or are a close
match allowing for errors. The word list changes after every key press.
If the word you need is displayed, you can tap on it to insert it into your
text.
To turn predictive text on or off with the Google keyboard, tap the
Input options key, and then Google keyboard settings. Tap Auto
correction or Show correction suggestions and select one of the
options.

Editing text

You can select and edit text in certain applications, such as text you
have entered in a text field. Selected text can be cut or copied and
later pasted within the same application, or to a different application.

certain areas. Other applications may offer specialized commands to select
text.
