Text editing on mobile isn’t ok

That's not been my experience on Android, I can go left right up down just fine. I've tried this on SwiftKey keyboard however but I'm sure it's the same in GBoard.

I am using the Google keyboard, android 13, and I cannot go vertical only horizontal.

It's really bad in GBoard. I just tap the text itself and if I get close enough to what I want to edit I just backspace and retype. I regularly remove 5-10 characters just to fix a single mistyped one.

I do the same. It's really bad. US English version.

I do have long press on space bar to switch between EN/FR dictionary. I wonder if that makes things worse.
