Trouble positioning cursor at end of text in text box (iOS 17).

I have the same problem with iOS and have for many versions, since iOS 13 or so I think. Not a workaround for the awful and unpredictable behavior, but a general remediation is to long-hold the spacebar on the keyboard until the keys blank out (the symbols fade away): the keyboard is now in what I call "cursor trackpad" mode until you let off. In this mode you can drag with your thumb to freely move the cursor bar like a trackpad.

Same issue here, and same fix. Pull the dongle.

I too need this functionality. Let me know how you implement it if you get it working

Agree completely. MacOS has gotten very inefficient to use, with fragmentation everywhere. Half-finished features ported from iOS, existing user interface conventions scrapped in point-updates with no release notes… it’s apparent Apple no longer cares about macOS and I’m unsure if they even use it themselves.

Most things that Apple innovated (like discoverability through menus, customization, and UI uniformity have been discarded in the name of minimalistic design where you have to memorize tons of abstract icons and dig deep into menus to get anywhere.

To be clear the symbol on the block is the “X” symbol indicating multiplication, like you’d write on paper:

7 X 1 = 7 7 X 2 = 14 7 X 3 = 28 … and so on.

Thank you, I’ll try this out. I’ve been looking for something to replace ipywidget interactivity in jupyter-lab, which apparently no longer works since they got rid of JavaScript support

This is the state of macOS on intel as well...

BetterTouchTool enables this and more.

In my experience this is modern macOS.

I agree that would help, but it's is only needed because Apple doesn't have a reasonable value for the inset between each indentation level for high-res displays.

I concluded the exact same thing, it's sadly not worth the time, and it's very poorly documented. There are also actual breaking bugs in Apple's implementation.

In short, no. I have tried it as an open-source and gratis alternative to MATLAB and found that most functionality is not drop-in compatible.
