Looks like the UX is different on GBoard, it triggers language options when you have multiple languages set up, but works when you have only one language on. Thanks for letting me know!
It works with multiple languages too. Just tap and slide as if you’re doing a horizontal scroll. Once in that mode, you can keep your finger held down and sliding as long as you want.
The trigger is slightly different on GBoard. Rather than long press and hold, you just touch the spacebar and drag right away. Press too long and the language options show up.
The other big difference with this is it’s a 1-Dimensional traversal so it’s like having the left and right arrow keys but not the up and down keys.
On top of my mind
I use both Android and iOS Some features I miss on Android are
You’re saying you don’t have that on Android? I do. But I use GBoard.
I use the default Samsung keyboard and I do have that
@andrycake @flagellum It works on Microsoft SwiftKey as well.

On my a android 11 / miui 12.5.2 pressing space bar to move cursor works without any problems.
Maybe Xiaomi implemented what iOS did in their miui, however same feature is not present in GBoard or SwiftKey :/
Swiftkey has that option. Settings -> Input
Thanks for letting me know, I will check it out!

Wow I didn’t know, thanks for letting me know. Even the 1D traversal helps. Keeping one language makes this feature prominent.
Oh my god thank u so much was really missing that from iOS. And airplay of course 🥲
