Desire Keyboard Directional cursor

[DroidyBoy]

Hello

This might seem an odd question but I can't find information to answer it.


When typing a message in the HTC Desire is there a way of moving the cursor to a place in the written message using some keyboard cursor keys? If so where are they hidden?

At the moment I seem to be only able to do this using the trackball or by trying to guess and clicking in the message. Both methods suck!

There has to be some left right cursor keys surely -- doesn't there??


I love my phone but this bugs me

If there is some option I am missing please let me know..

thanks.

Tap the spot on the message you want to edit then use the trackpad to fine tune. Works very well for me.

Using quick scrolls on the trackpad moves it less than slow scrolls is the best advice I read on here.

I had an app once that turned the volume up / down keys into scroll left / right keys when the keyboard was being displayed. Worked very well indeed and since my 2.2 update I have been meaning to re-install.

just had a quick search, couldnt find it, not got time now though but felt morally obliged to at least mention this solution to your problem as it was such a good one.

Cheers

+1 for trackpad - Took some getting used to, but I fly with it now.

As for volume controls doing it, the HTC_IME Mod allows this - [Skins] HTC_IME High/Low Res v27 custom skin generator online! Updated Sep. 7th! - xda-developers

Works for me - Set the volume keys option to move cursor. Just make sure that you get the right version..spend some time reading the thread first.

I installed it for smiley support and some gestures...

Works on Froyo here fine
