This is true. I usually just put the cursor near to where I want to correct 
and simply delete and retype because sometimes that's much faster than 
putting cursor correctly. I think in Sailfish OS they have a thinkpad-like 
trackpoint and it seems to work good. Maybe we can have something like 
this.
