In a small usability testing, I tested the current implementation of the
copy/paste feature for text.

These are my findings:
- the touch area of the buttons is too small, I would recommend to make it
double the current size
- the buttons are too close to each other - better have one button width space
between them
- the feature in itself is great, but the icon metaphor was not recognized by
everyone. I know that in KDE and windows the same icon language is used, but
here I heard interpretations like "Duplicate" and "add new page". Maybe a small
label underneath the icons would make the action easier to understand? 
- The order of the icons irritated me. Normally we say "Copy and paste". And
normally this is the order the user takes: first copy the text you need, then
paste them. Currently we have the buttons ordered in "paste" then "copy" - was
there a specific reason to do so?
