Daniel - This is OSK specific, the final implementation of this doesn't interfere with normal space input (it activates only on a long press on the OSK's spacebar), there's a slightly old video of this functionality in action here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FYbtyweMs8 (the visuals and some of the movement thresholds have changed a bit since that video was taken but the broad idea remains the same). It's currently in silo 2386 if you fancy playing with it yourself.

What if we use the space bar for moving the text cursor horizontally or even vertically. Currently, moving the cursor is quite hard and inaccurate. Space bar is quite big and makes it a good place to swipe to move the cursor. With this approach, we're not using more space and instead use a big part of the keyboard that is only there mostly for inserting spaces. The sensitivity is critical though because you don't want unintended movement of the cursor but I think it's very much doable.
