is it possible to change the order of commands in the context menu when selecting text? for example, so that “web search” is immediately after “copy”

No. Apple would have to recode the application to do that.

Rearrange pop-up text menu? When you select text on iPhone, you get a little pop-up menu of options. The first three options depend on whether or not you're in a text entry field. They also seem to vary depending on which app you're in. In Safari, the first three options are: Copy, Find Selection and Look Up. I don't even know what Find Selection and Look Up do. Unfortunately, an option I use a lot, which is Speak Text, has to be scrolled to when the phone is held in portrait mode. Is there a way to edit this menu so that Speak Text appears second in the list, next to Copy?

Contextual Menus Is there any way to turn off contextual menus or shift to other locations on the iPad? In Pages, Keynote and Numbers, when you select text (as opposed to an insertion point), a contextual pop up menu appears which blocks the selected text. Does anyone have a work around? This behavior significantly impacts my work flow!
