I am still waiting for some sort of keyboard with arrow keys… Using touch to move the I-cursor is incredibly lame and inefficient IMHO. Still, this looks like a great improvement to the stock keyboards, just wish SOMEone would notice that hardware keyboards have arrow keys and emulate same. Folks woud FAIL a hardware keyboard without arrow keys, why not a virtual keyboard?… Just my 2¢…

Swype has the arrows you are looking for. https://www.swypeinc.com/product.html The arrow keys are accesed by swyping from the swype key through the symbol key. There are many other useful keys that are accessed using that technique.

Per the SwiftKey X knowledgebase: “In SwiftKey X, there is also the option to display arrow keys on the
home screen. To turn these on please go into Settings → Keyboard→Arrow
Keys.”

I have been using SwiftKey for about 6 months, and think that the accuracy is much better than Swype with the stock keyboard. I still have some issues getting it to recognize the difference when I am trying to type “or” vs “our” and other similar words. But in general, it makes my typing much faster.
