stop tapping on text to move the cursor: the iphone keyboard trackpad trick

been there man on iPhones with 3D Touch (like the iPhone 6s to XS), pressing firmly anywhere on the keyboard does the same thing. hope that helps :)

ok so try turning off the driver first, fixed it for me lmk how it goes

while in trackpad mode, tap with another finger to start a text selection. good luck man!

also lol i come back to this thread every week just for the drama

If it's not working, check that you're holding teh space bar long enough before sliding.
