You can do this with the space bar, on your smartphone:

Probably won't work on your flip phone...
On my Android doesn't seem to do anything but give me a space.
I did discover another feature, though. If I hold on a letter it shifts to the corresponding symbol without having to go through the symbol key. So if there are some you use a lot you could memorize the correspondence.
It works on my Note 20. You just slide your finger left to right or right to left on the space bar and the cursor moves just like the animation above.
Oh, that's cool!?ÿ Thanks for sharing - definitely needed this many times.

On the iPhone, it actually works if you press on the keyboard at all, not just the spacebar.?ÿ
Nice!?ÿ Thanks for pointing that out.?ÿ Now if I can just remember it...
Also; if you hold down the letter, the underlying symbol shows up. You just have to remember which symbol is where...
Android, Galaxy S7. I had to enable a feature to get this. Steps to enable were:?ÿ
Open keyboard (for instance, through messaging)
Click down arrow at upper right and select the gear/settings.
Select Smart Typing
Select Keyboard swipe controls
Enable cursor control.?ÿ

That allows me to slide/swipe over the space bar or the keyboard itself!! Woot! I always hated that I didn't have the equivalent of the arrow keys.?ÿ
Thank you very much! @dougie

Thanks for the instructions. I had been through menus?ÿ ?ÿlooking for a way, but not looking there.
Now what I need is instruction on preventing Chrome browser windows that open without my help on my Android.
Overnight it might accumulate 25 of them advertising stuff, some of which are seedier sites than this phone has ever visited. I can be reading mail or typing a post and suddenly I'm looking at one of those.
I've been through menus, cleared cookies and menus with no success.

@bill93 That may be malware. You might want to check through your apps and delete recent ones, unnamed ones, one person said it was caused by a bluetooth auto connect up, etc. Also look for an "invisible app" listed last. Uninstall what you can.
Other possibilities: whatsapp, a sticker extension for whatsapp called 'dump trump', an emoji app...
I'm getting this from a long thread on a google support forum.
Cool, Me too learned something new today!
I seem to have gotten rid of it. Not sure, but I suspect LiveXLive that was some sort of replacement for a music player that Google killed. I forget how that got on the phone, as I don't use anything like it.
