The space bar, did you know?

[sonandhelpneeded]

So I have just discovered by holding down the space bar on my phone keyboard, I can move the cursor to wherever I want on my message....

This will save me hours of frustration and having to undo loads of text I actually want!

I thought I'd share, but maybe you all already knew abs didn't tell me?

AIBU to think this is genius?

I've seen everyone freaking out about this on Twitter but I don't fully get it.

Doesn't work for me!? How

@GimmeGimmeHellYeah I discovered it from the internet! Bloody hell I'm not claiming to be Bill Gates!

Who pissed on your chips?

Maybe lighten up a bit, my word "discovery" isn't a slur on you!

I don't understand what difference it makes

Wow, thank you

Huh? I have no idea what difference holding the space bar makes. Maybe my phone just doesn't have that feature

@AnyFucker that's fine, step away from the thread....

It's just lighthearted, some people are pleased to find this "trick"!

Is this going to divide the planet like 'what colour is this dress?'

Why are some people so dour

Genius

@Avegemitesandwich !

Game changer!!! Thank you

AF can you not get it to work?...or do you have very dexterous digits?

Why is it a game changer?

OP why did you have to delete lots of text before you knew this? (I did ask already but you ignored)

I can’t make it work

IPhone SE.

Wow! Thanks OP, after a real crappy couple of days, this discovery has cheered me right up.

It doesn’t delete any text

I “discovered” this just last week and was very excited... funnily no one else that I have told has been quite as excited as me 😉 I used to spent a lot of time tapping trying to get my cursor into the right bit of a word if I discovered a mistake....... but not anymore 😂

It does not work for me!

I dont undetstand really, a) it makes no difgerence and b) you could di it without holding the spacebar down

This lets you move the cursor into the middle of a word.

Tapping only lets you put it at the start or end of a word.

@empmalswa I didn't ignore you! Get a grip!

I never managed to get the cursor spot on so ended deleting text to get to the right spot!

God as PP said some people are so dour!

I've been accused of ignoring and making out I discovered an invention or some such thing!

Come on people, lighten up!

@Fifipop Haha was just debating telling DS but know full well I will get that sympathetic look

You hold the spacebar down and you can drag the cursor.

Tapping never gets it in the right place.

Thank you OP!!

I didn't ignore you! Get a grip!

Well you made several replies and non of them were answering the question, so.....

'you ignored'

people get so wound up on the most trivial of threads!
