ReplyDeleteHi Shannon Culler,
DeleteThanks for coming.
CMIIW, so do you want whenever you long tap the key in the right side of the space bar, without lift your finger, you can move to a symbol and then select it by lifting your finger? Unfortunately, I never able do that with the stock keyboard, but I can do so by using the Jelly Bean Keyboard 4.3 app. So, if you don't mind, you can try this keyboard app.
