Title:
  The keyboard should have cursor keys

Status in ubuntu-keyboard:
  New
Status in ubuntu-keyboard package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  There many places, other than the terminal, where users might enter text, in which they might make typoes:
  - URLs in browsers
  - messages
  - ...

  However, the keyboard only has cursor keys in the terminal app, but
  nowhere else.

  At least left/right would be handy to fix typoes. Indeed, trying to
  move cursor by tap is very dicey, due to phat phingers and absence of
  a stylus.

  
  ... or if this is considered "opinion", maybe it could become a configuration option?

  Note: even Android has a so-called "hacker's keyboard" app which does
  have cursor keys (... and other niceties). As Ubuntu phone is a
  "hacker's phone" by essence, maybe cursor keys should be standard here
  :-)
