if you hold down the space bar you can use that to slide the cursor around :)

- neuroelectron 1y agoYes but sometimes it doesn't work, weirdly. The cursor just doesn't go where you put it, jumping to the end of the line or next line entirely, where it gets lost in limbo because it's a single line text box. It's ridiculously broken sometimes. Now that's not a big deal until it happens 3 times in a row randomly and now something that would take less than half a second on a keyboard is taking over 20 seconds. Not only that the random behavior is extremely frustrating which just makes you avoid it in the future.
- mathstuf 1y agoI use that on Android all the time. But I feel I've only gotten it to work once or twice on iPhone. And even then the word boundaries were very "sticky" (IIRC) and precision placement still very difficult.
- gausswho 1y agoThank you, I had no idea. When did this feature land?
- sorrythanks 1y agoI don't know! I remember where I was standing when i realized you could do it, by accident! so i know it's been there since at least 2018, because the building whose smoking area i was standing in got knocked down the next year ^^
