One thing I really like about the iOS keyboard is that doing that can move the cursor in all directions. On Android keyboards, dragging the spacebar can only move it left/right.
Agreed, there’s enough room to go two lines down and many up.
Android can already go up/down without issues if you have a keyboard with arrow keys, so keyboards would just need to implement the gesture.
IOS also has contextual tab buttons that are very nice. I wish other companies would copy the things apple does well instead of the bullshit they actually copy.
IIRC only iOS has that because apple holds a patent on that specific implementation. Which sucks because on Gboard the space bar can be quite small and the timing between activating the cursor scroll and opening the language menu seems like 0.15 seconds

@[email protected] SwiftKey on Android also supports moving the cursor in all directions.
