I want All the Standard keys on the virtual keyboard. Is there an alternate keyboard with all the keys that are on the typical Apple keyboard like is used on the Mac?

It's too hard and cumbersome to place the cursor between letters to make edits when you only want to move the cursor one letter to the right or left. We also need arrow keys and control, option, and command keys on the virtual keyboard. Is there another keyboard for the iPad that includes all the keys that exist on a typical Apple keyboard?

To accurately move the on-screen cursor, touch-and-hold the spacebar of the on-screen keyboard; the entire on-screen keyboard will turn grey. Without lifting your finger from the screen, while watching the cursor, simply slide your finger. 


While the keyboard remains grey, it has been transformed into a trackpad - with which to freely move the cursor. When the cursor is placed as required, lift your finger from the screen.
