Why didn't you tell me?

I just learned that the space bar is the damn mouse. All this time I've been fighting trying to put the cursor in the right spot and just now I learn that you can control it by holding the space bar down?

How many of you knew and didn't tell me? Huh? I wanna know... :Mad:

I found it by accident, but it's the absolute best thing.

Someone knew and didn't share...

Dunno what you don't know, but the iphone is full of little secrets.

Anything that makes life easier, shortcuts.

Share your knowledge.

It’s not the space bar. It’s anywhere on the keyboard.

type "do a barrel roll" on google? very functional easter egg feature.

I'm a droid user, but told my wife about the mouse feature. she doesn't type or text much, so my attempt to be an iPhone hero fell flat. But I'm used to that <shrugs>

Does anyone know if it works on an iPhone 6? Mine doesn't seem to be doing it.

Nevermind. The trick is to press down and move - I wasn't pressing down enough.

Apple is too cool to tell you about their product features up front. They let you stew in frustration for years and then they accept your praise for their ingenuity when you finally figure it out.

Thank you! sometimes it's the little things in life that either make your day (this), or frustrate the shit out of you (not being able to move the cursor how I had been able to in the past).

There are three kinds of people, those who can count, and those who can't.

How many times have each of us been frustrated trying to tap to get the cursor in between the correct letters, because we didn't know this? How much time wasted? My goodness, just think of all the productivity lost for this nation and for the world!
Seriously, thank you for posting this.

This was part of iOS 13 update I believe, it wasn’t always there.
