arrows on ipad keypad please!

Can you put some forward and backward arrows on the ipad keypad. When typing a long email it is very counterproductive to have to stop and touch the screen in the exact right place to change a word. And sometimes its necessary to enlarge the fonts to get the magnifier in the right place. A simple set of 2 arrows would be brill, add up and down and it would be even better!. Where can I register this as a wanted enhancement?

ipad, Other OS

I'm able to scroll up and down within text boxes by using two fingers on the screen instead of one.

My brother had a Triumph TR-4 that had a starting crank! Granted, it was as useless as things on a bull but it was there.

Actually, the arrow keys do work much better than the finger but there's just no room for them on the virtual keyboard.

Tap and hold your finger on the screen. A magnifying glass will appear. Slide it to where you want to go in the text line.

Yes. Average gap recently seems to have been several months, so mine wasn't exceptional!
