Cursor keys

Thanks for this; one thing I very quickly realised was the most amazing omission from the TP keyboard was any way of moving the cursor (especially if you mis-type a long web address), specifically [home] [end] [->] and [<-] options. I had been wondering whether the layout itself could be amended to insert a generic cursor-move key (pref by reducing the width of the space bar and adding [<-] and [->] under the 'n' and 'm' keys, with shift giving the [home] and [end], but the info here suggests that may not be possible. Having other options on the [Tab] key might be? Anyway, anyone else looking at possible ways to add these oh-so-necessary functions? --AlisonW 12:21, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Nope, sorry. As I get it, it is mostly not even keyboard but paste tool. All it does is pasting characters that are assigned to buttons in text. May be there are special buttons for moving cursor programmed somewhere in binary, but as they are not present in standard layouts itself I cannot say which codes they can have.
