Title: Built in floating cursor for iPhone/ iPad - I never knew that!
Post by: Railwaygun on November 22, 2018, 07:37:23 AM
Tired of a stuck cursor whilst editing NGF posts? Unable to move your cursor around the text boxes?

DO you envy   your friends  with their 4 arrow keys?

Then help Is at hand! Simply press and hold the space bar, and it turns into a mini mouse pad to move your cursor!

My life is transformed..

This has been a feature on all iPhones with 3D Touch for years, think it's everything since iPhone 6S, plus other devices, although I'm not sure about the iPads. Amusingly they've now done away with 3D Touch on the iPhone XR and it's become more widely known about as they've created a 'long press' function instead.
