Not all changes are always for the better. Is there anything that you liked and is now gone?

    There’s an alternative to that now, but it pales in comparison.

    Walt, is there a better way than long-pressing on a word and then clumsily moving the little markers to where you want your selection to start/end? If there is I need to know, because I hate how janky selecting text often is.

      Hold down on the space bar and you’ll get a cursor. Then if you tap — while still holding space — on the keyboard with another finger it’ll start to select the text.

      Having to use two hands to do the same thing you used to be able to do with one is what I don’t like. But it’s at least something.

        Thanks. I use the space bar to move the cursor a lot, but didn’t know it could select text too. Feels pretty damn clumsy though.
