Moving the cursor #14

Open Emayeah opened 8 months ago

Emayeah commented 8 months ago

this is more of an enhancement than an issue it would be better if people had an option to use the dpad to change the cursor position, instead of using touch or a keyboard also, it would be better if when the keyboard isn't open when pressing b to delete instead of deleting the character inside of the box make it delete the character right before the cursor, like when the keyboard is open edit: changed dead to dpad since autocorrect changed dpad to dead

Ran into this recently as well, d-pad support being missing is a definite oversight.

For the cursor, in "Overview" mode, it's supposed to be vim-like, and allow you delete individual blocks or selections. And then it's set to 1-width by default.

But do see how this is inconvenient. I'll try out a 0-width selection to be the "normal" cursor, and then a 1-width selection (only possible in overview mode) giving the current block cursor. (So at that moment, "Backspace" would become "Delete")
