Unsure if you know: you can press and hold the space bar to enable text navigation by swiping.
- gcanyon 3y agoI’m not the person you replied to, but this is the feature I was describing above when I said long press on the keyboard. I was borking my memory: it used to be a deep press (when that was a thing) anywhere on the keyboard. Now, as you say, it’sa long press on the space bar. The problem with that solution is that it’s incredibly slow (perceptually). This is a large part of why I say no one at apple is working day to day on an iPad. If someone there were forced to, this would be fixed. — or declared to be impossible to fix, I suppose. From about 2015 to 2021 I was waiting to be able to only take my iPad with me on trips. That was never pleasant, not really possible. Now I have an M1 MacBook Air, and my iPad is the device collecting dust at home. (edit to change "boring" to "borking" -- yes, I typed this on iOS, let's not even discuss autocorrect...)
