I cannot be the only one that tires of stabbing multiple times with hit or miss accuracy at the location I want the cursor to move to in a text field. Android provides a "handle" that allows for easy cursor location adjustment.

Is there a jailbreak tweak that addresses this to make it easier to reposition the cursor on text fields?

Is it a particular app that does this?

There's a app that I use that's important to me but placing the cursor was never fixed in this app and probably never will be.

All of my quality app there's no problem. Press and hold the magnifying glass appears and slide the cursor.

Long press to get the window that allows you to slide the cursor.

Ahhhh...good enough. That was annoying the heck outta me. Thanks a ton!

I was noticing it most recently in this Tapatalk Pro but saw the same issue everywhere.

Sometimes it can be difficult to place the cursor at the beginning of a paragraph. I place and hold away from my target and drag from there.

I learned something that I shoulda been able to just figure out on my own. Thanks all!

Glad you figured out how to do it. Was trying to figure out why someone was having problems with cursor placement when it's so well done on iOS (for a mobile).

Because Android does it differently and that's where I spent most of the past year+.
