Put your finger in the insertion point and drag it to where you want it.

comment box pops up in numbers cell I want to be able to see my cell comments only if I click the cell or the comment triangle. Instead the many comments I have pop up when I move the mouse across the page - very annoying Can I get this option?

Why can’t we place cursor anywhere we want to edit texts? Does anyone else hate some of these “short cuts” Apple’s decided to add to 12? I want to at least have the option of turning off the “long press space bar to release cursor” short cut and replace with old fashioned “put the darned cursor wherever I put my finger (on the screen 🤭)” Does anyone know if this is possible?

iOS 17 cursor placement, text input update Was there an update to the way iOS places a cursor? I'm noticing it's much more difficult to place the cursor at an exact spot. At first, I thought there a major update and I'd just have to relearn it, but I'm realizing I have no idea how to simply place a cursor -- often it highlights a word and offers different words instead of just placing a cursor like it used to do -- then I have to slide both sides of the selected text because it can only select whole words, then I have to select a single character so I delete that character and place it back again, THEN I can finally type where the cursor needed to go. Is this the new way to interact with the cursor, or if not, is there a way to troubleshoot?
