Where is the text selection tool in qpdfview?

This is literally the most basic tool in a PDF viewer and it should be available in the top menu as the first tool. I can't find it in qpdfview? where is it?

In qpdfviewer after selecting your pdf, go to Edit > Copy to Clipboard and select the text your require using the cross-hairs tool.

You should note that the ordinary selection tool and editing capability you might otherwise expect doesn't exist in qpdfview.

You can hold Shift and then drag to copy the text to the clipboard.

The cross-hair appears as soon as you press down the left mouse button, while holding Shift.
The shortcut can be modified under:
Edit -> Settings -> Modifiers -> Mouse button modifiers -> Copy to clipboard
