iPad drag-to-edit keyboard prototype shows Apple how easy it could be (video)

iPad drag-to-edit keyboard prototype shows Apple how easy it could be (video)

Text editing on the iPad is a bit of a slog unless you have a dedicated keyboard. One Daniel Hooper, however, has a simple but clever idea to fix this: use the keyboard as a pseudo-trackpad. As he shows in the prototype video below, his idea has touchscreen typists just drag one or two fingers along the keyboard to whip through text. Need to select something. Hold the Shift key while you swipe.
