iphonekeyboard
When writing paragraph on iPhone, I need to quickly move the cursor up and down so that I can go to lines above and below respectively.
Although, you can do this by touch and holding the cursor, and then moving it to wherever you want, I specifically need to have a keyboard stroke.
When filling up forms, you see the up and down keys.
Is there any keyboard out there that has this feature?
The characters included in the popovers are defined in property lists inside the /System/Library/Input\ Methods/PressAndHold.app/ bundle.
I was able to change à to y by editing /System/Library/Input\ Methods/PressAndHold.app/Contents/Resources/Keyboard-en.plist and logging out and back in.
(note the escape in "Input Method" if you're copy pasting)
<key>Roman-Accent-a</key>
<dict>
<key>Direction</key>
<string>right</string>
<key>Keycaps</key>
<string>a y á â ä æ ã å ā</string>
<key>Strings</key>
<string>a y á â ä æ ã å ā</string>
</dict>
I have never observed such behaviour.
It is a bug.
Selecting text is not supposed to delete text.

The arrows you see in your screenshot move the cursor to the previous or next form input field, they do not navigate within a text field to go to previous or following lines. If you have a phone supporting 3D Touch, you can force press on the stock iOS keyboard to quickly move the cursor (the phone will vibrate and the letters will disappear, then the keyboard area acts like a touchpad to control the cursor). If your phone does not support 3D Touch, you double tap and keep your fingers on the screen on the second tap for the same effect.
