Peter Cohen"I gave 10 participants a simple set of text editing tasks, such as deleting an “x” from a string of characters or moving a word to the end of a sentence. Every single person had problems with targeting, using the clipboard and lots and lots of errors."
Glenn Fleishman@flargh every time I edit, even this reply, it's a wrestling with UI disaster
ChancerubbageAre either of you speaking specifically to the new way iOS 17 is handling autocorrect and predictive text? Because I find the current change an improvement.
I figured you might be throwing a wider net discussing the issues touch screen gestures for editing in general, compared to a physical keyboard and mouse.
@Chancerubbage @glennf The OP's central thesis is that text editing, in general, on touch devices is crap, and I wholly support that. I *want* to edit text and even have a workflow to support it thanks to Ulysses, but it is an exercise in frustration on my iPhone and apparently little better on Android, from what I've gathered here.
