Cursor as in textarea on mobile devices #4178

Open ghost opened 4 years ago

ghost commented 4 years ago

Hello.

in the editor on mobile devices, moving the cursor is only possible by tapping. It is not comfortable. for example: 1

How can I smoothly move the cursor by swipe, just as it works in the element textarea using native tools iOS/Android? for example: 2

it looks like thats native to the phone's keyboard+webkit software, but if i wher to code it in,, i would have to hook into the webkit's touch sensors, and watch for a direction.. but i dont know how that would work with selection in ace and current cursor rules

this problem can not be solved? tell me where is the source of the code that is responsible for this and I will think about how to change it

Hi, do you find the solution to solve this problem? I meet the same problem and I found that codemirror behave exactly what we are looking for. However, it takes some effort for me to migrate from ace to codemirror

Thanks for letting us know, deleted the comment (it's still there in your comment though). (For future reference, the deleted comment mentioned https://github.com/react-simple-code-editor/react-simple-code-editor as an alternative code editor which functions as desired in this issue)

This should be fixed for Android in #5087. Next step is to verify this and also to understand what it means for other mobile platforms (e.g., iOS)
