Simple concept, I feel stupid for asking. Let's say I typed that as "Simple concept, I feel stupid for basking" and tapped the screen to put the cursor after the B in BASKING to delete it, but accidentally inserted before the B. How do I delete that without struggling to get the cursor exactly after the B? On a BB you can just hit the ALT key while hitting delete and it would delete the B after the cursor. I can't seem to figure out a simple typing issue.

Thanks in advance!
 
Ok, ok, I'll use the trackpad. I almost forgot it was there. I don't use it for anything and maybe I should! Still curious why the standard method doesn't work though. Pressing and holding shift then del.

didn't even occur to me that the pad could do that. Still learning. Was a fairly advanced BB user, but its fun to be learning an entirely new platform.
