Apple Pencil Select and scroll

Thanks for the info. I saw posts that suggested the ability on the iPad and presumed their reference to “settings” was at the system level when actually it is in the Pages app internal settings location. It looks like this ability is only available within Pages, Numbers & Keynote. I wish it was available in all writing apps.

Your post is unclear as to where, when and App where you expect to encounter this "select and scroll" function. Perhaps you refer to the Pages App for iPad? Something else?

For the Pages App, the associated User Guide may be helpful. Here a a direct link to the perhaps pertinent section of the Guide:

Consider asking the App Developers of other Apps to implement the controls that you like:
