Just a caveat: the space has the current language written on it, which might suggest long-pressing it will get you something related to that (that's what it does on other platforms). Maybe we can differentiate between a horizontal drag and a long press.
Wonder if double-tap-drag could give us text selection on top of that (could be tricky to differentiate between all the different modes - but maybe it's doable). -- 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/1566172 Title: [SUGGESTION] Use the space bar for moving the text cursor Status in Ubuntu UX: New Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have an idea which maybe considered to be implemented. What if we use the space bar for moving the text cursor horizontally or even vertically. Currently, moving the cursor is quite hard and inaccurate. Space bar is quite big and makes it a good place to swipe to move the cursor. With this approach, we're not using more space and instead use a big part of the keyboard that is only there mostly for inserting spaces. The sensitivity is critical though because you don't want unintended movement of the cursor but I think it's very much doable.
