Free movement of cursor, like mousepad, when holding space button

304 votes

Currently, when holding the space button, you can move the cursor only left to right, but not up and down. Would be great to be able to move the cursor like on a mousepad.

It's easy to move the cursor left and right. Allow us to move it also several lines up or down.

YES please. Like in Standard iOS, this would be great

This feature would make writing really easier in an office mobile app.

Yes please! That's one of the only reasons why I frequently switch away from Typewise back to the native keyboard.

This would be as well a big plus.
E.g. why is this 'message' field so small to post something?
Did you try to review the written multiple line text?
It's almost not possible switching easily between the lines. Using the cursor move function with the space button works, but slowly.. i somewhere read a request having the arrows buttons implemented, i don't need arrow buttons but an simple way of moving up and down easily, thank you for considering

Actually, that does not work at all on the version downloaded today.

ecxact, id would be a hughe benefit to move with the space button the cursor also vertical... not only horizontal. It would increase the accuracy to get a the right point on phone screens, preventing the classical tapdance to get to the right position.

You have to turn it on in the settings. I don't know if it is a Pro-only feature or not.

Unfortunately this is not something we can do, as we are limited by the iOS and Android
