I wonder if phones have cursor support. Obviously they have to for touch-based text editing, but it feels different. Touch screens inherently have dead zones with no input, a cursors position persists. I imagine there are a couple of gotchas if you were to try to implement this yourself. Fun to think about.
- sgtnoodle 3y agoAndroid does, at least.
- qingcharles 3y agoiOS does too. Might have to enable it in Accessibility settings, IIRC.
- yreg 3y agoThey do, both iOS (and iPadOS) and Android. You are correct that it is pretty interesting how they went around implementing the interface. Look up some YouTube videos if this interests you. Another clever thing is that you can connect an iPad to your Mac and control both with the same mouse, jumping over screen to screen with the cursor (dragging files, etc).
