Select text with cursor

[palozon]

Being able to swipe to precisely select text to cut or copy with just the keyboard would be useful, in the same way swiping spacebar to precisely move the cursor or swiping backspace to precisely select text to delete is already very useful. I'd probably kill to get the backspace swipe without actually backspacing.

Hold-swipe or double tap-swipe on spacebar would feel natural. Side note: the convention to have hold spacebar switch keyboards is maybe redundant when many phones have a dedicated button for it right below spacebar on the right. I don't know, think about it, it could be a toggle in the settings.
