Hi,
Is there any way where I can delete the text on the right of the cursor in android.
I tried holding shift + delete but it did not work.
Can you please through light on this functionality.
Regards,
Anoop.

tap the text screen and the blue cursor arrow pops up, just move it and use back space
Hi,
Thanks for the revert mate.
That is the current mentod that I am also following up. But is there no solution, where word to the right of the cursor can be deleted?
Like you might have seen in Blackberry. And it works well on that platform.
Is that the petented technology and thats why not avaiable on Android?
Seniors - Plz advise/comment.
Regards,
Anoop

Swype has always frustrated me, when you need to move forwards and backwards much in a text field, it is difficult to do with your finger and I could not find anything to help in swype.
All I had to do was hit the bottom left swype button and then slide to the symbol key right next to it. BAM, there it is. It's probably most helpful for copy and paste and some other situations where you just can't move the cursor with your finger.
Just an fyi, and also wondering if this was already common knowledge?

I wouldn't call it common knowledge, but it's been known for a while. I found out about it in a tips and tricks thread somewhere.
Also, try the same thing, but slide to "f" instead of "sym" to pull up a number pad

Are there more shortcuts?
-swype key then symbol key
-swype key then f
...more?

also, in 2.2, in text entry fields, if you tap the field a movable cursor shows up that you can slide left and right.
A lot of tips like these are in the General Sticky....
that said, I do not know if its a shortcut, but I love going from the apostrophe to "s".... I can type words like "what" and then with that gesture quickly make is "what's"
also, if "bump" from one letter to the next it helps swype identify the letter you are really going for (ie, you go across a row and there could be a few correct letters).
I take it that none of you had ever done the tutorial with swype on your phone...

Swype > F is the only one from this thread that is not on there.. and that is not all that much needed from using the other number pad.
Swype -> q switches it to AZERTY. It doesn't switch it back. Pretty useless.
These Swype shortcuts are all on the Swype website lol

To switch back, press and hold the top-left button (where Q used to be) and choose U.S. English. If you've picked Korean by accident, press and hold where the A button was to switch back to English.

True. And somewhere else on the Internet someone else is talking about every other thread on xda...
Hello, Does anyone know how to get the selection tool during text input? I am using BETA4 and looks like its not linked to the keyboard im using. However i remember that while using stock ROM and SE keyboard i was able to move cursor (actually moving the text and cursor was in the middle )

Long tap on the text->select text?
I am after a better way of moving/controlling the cursor itself. Like time pointer in new Youtube App. I know Samsung S got sth like this.
Regards
Maybe some keyboards have that option, haven't found it yet.
use swype It has cursor keys etc built in for editing and selection etc
+1. You need to swype from the swype key (bottom left) to the sym key to pop up the direction controls.

Is there a way to move the text cursor back (without deleting text) when typing? My last phone had a trackball which let you do this, but the Optimus T (P509) lacks this useful button. Is there a back arrow on either the android or swype keyboard that I'm overlooking?
Thanks,

The lg keyboard has cursor keys on the t9 layout. It would be nice to have a way to enable cursor keys in qwertz layout. Any ideas?

Thanks. I don't use the swype keypad; I like the android one. Is there a way to move the cursor with that?

You can click on the area on the textbox to move the cursor, which is incredibly difficult. I haven't seen other keyboards that have arrow keys on them, though.

1 - the popup background that appears when you press the left button on the home screen.
2 - the popup background that appears when you press the left botton while in the app draw.

Hi! I've an answer for you!!
The popup you're talking about is called OptionsMenu. In framework-res.apk, under drawable mdpi/hdpi, there are two PNGs, named menu_background.9.png and menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png. The 1st one stands for the popups in setttings, and other apps. And the secon stands for launcherapp, etc. Change these PNGs with your's...................
Hope it helps........

S3's text selection method really sucks. First off on the google home page if i write something in the search bar and then need to add something else i drag the cursor to the end but either the keyboard disappears or it gets dragged only to the letter before the last.
Also to copy or paste stuff i have to go looking on the top of the screen (or bottom) for a copy/paste bar, only rarely do i get the popup copy and paste buttons. And it has no screen magnifier for precise selections.
What im looking for is something like apples selection: popup buttons for copying/pasting/cutting DIRECTLY CLOSE TO THE TEXT (not somewhere else, cuz in some apps if youve already scrolled down the bar will disappear), and (a less important feature) a screen magnifying thingy so i can stop the cursor just where i want it to.
Basically i need to replace all of samsungs copy/selection thingy with the blue arrow-cursors, anybody knows how??
