Title:
[SUGGESTION] [OSK] Use the space bar for moving the text cursor

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.
