Was it just me that didn't know this?! Feels particularly useful on an iPhone where the full stop seems to be in a different page of the menu. Too excited about this!

This. Works. For. Me.

Nice. One. Op.

It’s always been like that. I get very frustrated on my laptop that it doesn’t do the same.

Did you know that if you press and hold on the space bar you can move the cursor around? That's been my most recent revelation.

My God, thank you!

Thanks. I have had an iPhone for a day and finding the full stop was starting to irritate.
