How about a big, multi-line URL text field on mobile browsers? Can't stand horizontal scrolling to the beginning or end of the line to change a domain or parameter. Let me edit in multi-line mode when I tap on the URL.

This is actually a great idea, and it shouldn't be too hard to implement.

This is indeed a problem. Especially the last character is really hard to target because it coincides with the end of the field. Or always takes me several frustrated tries.

  Most phones you can use your space bar to scroll left and right. Drag your finger across.

    Didn’t know that. On my iPhone it seems to scroll through the suggested words completions only.

      Ahh, apologies, I thought I'd tested on my wife's iPhone, I hadn't yet :-)

  Press and hold the space key and you can navigate text with your finger.
