[Touch-packages] [Bug 1518619] Re: The keyboard should have cursor keys
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users. ** Changed in: ubuntu-keyboard (Ubuntu) Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-keyboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1518619 Title: The keyboard should have cursor keys Status in ubuntu-keyboard: New Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: There many places, other than the terminal, where users might enter text, in which they might make typoes: - URLs in browsers - messages - ... However, the keyboard only has cursor keys in the terminal app, but nowhere else. At least left/right would be handy to fix typoes. Indeed, trying to move cursor by tap is very dicey, due to phat phingers and absence of a stylus. ... or if this is considered "opinion", maybe it could become a configuration option? Note: even Android has a so-called "hacker's keyboard" app which does have cursor keys (... and other niceties).

Any news on this? What's the reason for the lack of progress here? Is it really technically difficult to implement this, or is it "something else"? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-keyboard in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1518619 Title: The keyboard should have cursor keys Status in ubuntu-keyboard: New Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: There many places, other than the terminal, where users might enter text, in which they might make typoes: - URLs in browsers - messages - ...
