Hi all.
On the Mac, at least there used to be, you could change how the cursor behaved when editing so it was more like Windows. Suppose I write halp and I wanted to write help. If I'm using a Bluetooth keyboard with the iPhone, and I'm arrowing to get to the 'a', it goes past the 'a' twice. This has always confused me, because you have to be on one side of the 'a', not the other, in order for it to delete or be replaced. In Windows, as I'm sure some of you know, if I arrow to the 'a' and delete, the 'a' is deleted.
I remember from using the Mac ages ago that you could change this behavior to be like Windows, not sure if you still can. Can you do that in iOS too? I doubt it, but I figured I'd check just in case, since it would make my life *so* much easier. I just keep getting messed up and deleting the wrong thing, so it makes editing a real chore.

Not that I'm aware of
I've never found any options to do that in iOS editing. It's kind of a mental adjustment that kicks in after a little bit of typing for me. Over on Linux it does that before/after thing with whole words, but not characters, so my brain has to adjust to iOS not doing that too. Slows things up a bit.
