The file manager is better late than never. My real question is what will text editing look like?
The lack of a cursor on iPad makes something like programming or writing on the iPad insanely frustrating. Have you ever tried selecting a precise amount of text with your finger?
- kiliankoe 9y agoMoving the cursor via a two-finger-swipe on the keyboard works surprisingly well. On the iPhone you can use this gesture (3D touch the keyboard) to also select text when pressing harder.
- shaunparker 9y agoOn the iPad you can drag two fingers over the keyboard to move the cursor around. When you have text selected, two finger dragging on the top half moves the left side of the selection and the bottom the opposite. It's a very useful gesture.
- e28eta 9y agoAgree with siblings about two finger drag to move cursor around. Additionally, I really enjoy the apple keyboard case for my iPad Pro. Real arrow keys, along with option, command, and shift modifiers are how I select text on the Mac, and it works identically on iPad.
