The number one thing I wish for in an iOS update is for the text selection and the cursor placement to become less terrible. Currently it is an absolutely unusable nightmare.
My main use case for my iPad is writing, and the guy who invented the "smart" text selection seems to hate my fingers - it is impossible to place the cursor where I want it to be. It tries to "intelligently" snap to the beginnings and endings of words and it gets it wrong 90% of the time.
I know that you can move the cursor with press and hold on the spacebar or on the text, but having to wait a second every time I want to move the cursor is the most annoying thing in the world. It is so much easier to edit text on my much smaller Android phone screen, it's ridiculous.
Just place the cursor where I tap, how hard can it be!
- saurik 3y agoHad you used older versions of iOS? Did you prefer how it worked before, or have you always disliked it?
- itbeho 3y agoI don't know how many times I've somehow selected the wrong word and then can't seem to select the word just to the left of it that I really want to copy...
