New user here...
I'm primarily tied to using an iPad.... Anyone figured out how to make the algorithm screen more user friendly on the iPad? Also, I can't seem to copy/paste among other normal things.
Any thoughts are appreciated.

Algorithm on an iPad
We have some work to do before the site becomes wholly mobile friendly, especially around the IDE. It was optimized for laptop coding experience, and I imagine there are rough edges on tablets and smaller screens. The basic functionality of copy/paste should be present (that's generally a browser setting), but I'm sorry for the poor experience you're running into.

No need to be sorry!!! I'm pleased with the product and understand the possible limitations of using an iPad. For some reason I can't drag the code window wider and haven't been able to copy/paste. I'll keep trying and look forward to future mobile friendly updates.
Thanks for all your work!

I use Quantopian on an iPad Pro.
It works, but it does really need some optimizations.
It is possible to copy/paste. Either press and select on the screen, and then drag the sliders and then use cmd-C and cmd-V to copy paste.
You can also use shift-up/down to select areas and do the same.
There is unfortunately a limit on how much you can copy and it doesn’t go much past the end of a screen before the scroll.
Resizing windows does not work.
In some cases, in Chrome, I have to ‘View Desktop Version’ in Chrome, to help things load better on Q.
My biggest annoyance is that there is no undo. Cmd-Z doesn’t appear to work, so there’s no way to reverse mistakes! It would help to have this added directly in the editor functions.
