Can you drag the cursor with your finger to a specific character in-text yet, without selecting text? 2018 iPad can't.

Long tap space bar and it should become something like a trackpad for the cursor.

God damn thank you. This interaction used to be triggered by deep pressing on the keyboard and it drove me insane when they got rid of it, I couldn't find any settings to turn it back on but this works!

It’s also the same on iphones.

My 2017 iPad Pro can do that. I can tap and drag on the cursor to move it. I can also long-tap and drag on the spacebar to move the cursor like a touchpad. I can also drag with 2 fingers anywhere on the keyboard to move the cursor like a touchpad. The first 2 options also work on my iPhone.
