Comment on Implement cursor-swiping in half an afternoon

Whoa, this is such a simple, intuitive and straight-forward mechanic, and nobody (i.e. manufacturers) thought about it before!?

I very much hate selection and cursor handling in all platforms. This, or something similar, should definitely become a standard way of moving around text on virtual keyboards.

Indeed. Now that I have it it is SO intuitive and fast, one wonders why no phone makers have gotten creative about the cursor placement/selection UX.
