In gboard we've already got modal stuff for numerical keypad, emojis, special characters (2 different modal pages), etc.
Adding one more modal keyboard page for cursor-editing (arrow keys, ctrl-arrow-keys, home/end, pgup/godown, select-toggle-button, delete, rclick menu) would just make sense. Would just be getting the rest of the desktop keyboard into the phone keyboard, nothing groundbreaking.

- Pxtl 3y agoWhoa, I had no idea (obviously). Note, that article is out of date, instead of the G icon, now it's a four-square icon. I don't know why they're not just using a standard hamburger icon, but whatever.
- davidinosauro 3y agoWow, indeed it's still there in GBoard! Thank you for sharing, I could never have found it before knowing it exists.
