How to keep UIKeyboard when textfield is regisned first responder?

Question

I'm writing an app that has a view similar to the SMS app's text editing view. It has a textview on the top and a textfield on the bottom. I want to allow users to copy and paste texts in the textview while keeping the keyboard appear. But if I try to copy the text, the UITextField will resign first responder and the keyboard will missing. Any ideas about how can the SMS app keep the keyboard while user is copying texts in another view?

- (BOOL)textFieldShouldEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField
{
    return NO;
}

I've tried to return NO for -(BOOL)textFieldShouldEndEditing: , but the textview to the upper cannot copy text then.
