I want all of this in SailfishOS: http://demos.blackberry.com/blackberry-z30/na/ca/gen/how-to/your-blackberry-z30-smartphone/keyboard/keyboard-and-typing/index.html <3 Especially this: ability to move the cursor by just one character by tapping something (in this video, it's the edge of the magnifier circle) instead of swiping, i.e. what cursor keys used to be for on old phones. Ever try to place the cursor right before/after a . , or i ...?

agree. even add that it would be nice to stop and experimental extremes experiments with kernel Jolla and to complete basic functions of a smartphone such as the dialer, sms, mail, audio, video and a standard browser. make them once well that would be more to him not to return. well after the kernel has to finish.

long press on cursor helps with your placement problem of the cursor. the text field gets magnified and you are able to move the cursor

I agree that BB10 has great keyboard functions. But Jolla shouldn't just copy these features anyway. They should also invent something really great and special which is as great as the functions of BB10 or better. :) Also I like the copy/paste feature of SailfishOS much more tcompared to BB10's. Jolla's copy/paste implementation is (quite) perfect and really easy to use. I just miss a much better word prediction in combination with a great unlike and native feature (like shown by BB10) for typing faster. A cut-option would also be nice and BB10's implemantation of deleting words with an back-swype other the keyboard is also great (vote here). So please Jolla make the Jolla keyboard the best one! :)
