[FR] iOS support cursor positioning with longpress spacebar

[mikivanou]

Description

It's possible to drag cursor in common text input after longpress spacebar.
It will be great to have similar feature for Appflowy editor in iOS

Steps: I tap spacebar and wait it become grey (all keyboard), then move my finger to left or right. Cursor in textfield follows this movement.

Impact

common UX for iOS

Unfortunately, the issue still persists. I have just tested it with version 2.3.0. Not only does the drag cursor not work, but after performing that action, deletion often stops working. Please refer to the attached video for demonstration.

@armandsLa I only tested it with the system built-in keyboard. Can you use the system one and try again?

[armandsLa]

In the iOS simulator with the system keyboard, it works on the second try. The first attempt also fails to move the cursor.

SwiftKey keyboard is the most popular keyboard on iOS, installed on more than 30% of iOS devices. It's worth testing on it as well.
