Yes, it's amazing. And this also works on the default Android/iOS keyboards too.
It does not work on the default iOS keyboard. You can't just slide your finger around the spacebar, you have to long press on the keyboard and hope you don't trigger the alternate character popup instead. Then while you're moving the cursor around, half the time it will just start selecting text. Moving the cursor sucks on iOS.
Thank you! I've frequently read articles and forum posts describing the feature like the parent does, and I've never succeeded in getting it to work. I just assumed it wasn't supported on my old phone. Now I know.

I'm an android guy, but force touch moving cursor on iOS works very fine. Better than spacebar sliding. Just press harder on on keyboard and it'll hide keys and let you desk the cursor around, mouse style.
All in production iPhones don't have force touch.
I don't have any device without it on hand, but since force touch is basically a glorified longtap, I guess some form of longtap will do the trick.

With all default repos + IzzyOnDroid enabled and searching exactly for that package name I get all the language packs and a 7 years old PC theme, but not the app itself. I'll just download the APK, I guess.
For future reference you can use the "Open in app" option in Firefox to open the app in F-Droid from the website link in the parent.
When I do that it does open in fdriid but to the "Armenian for AnysoftKeyboard".
Edit: thought I would install it and it turns out its English. Using to type this.

Hm, tried it, but it doesn't seem to work that way on the AOSP keyboard (LineageOS/Android9 here). Either hits '.' or the language change button, or I get the "select keyboard layout" pop up due to a long press on space. Will check out OpenBoard, because this sounds like a great feature.
On lineageos there's an option somewhere in the system settings to make the volume buttons move the cursor when the keyboard is open.

oh.. really? Now I feel silly haha
Yeah its super useful. Although the detection of it is not perfect. Sometimes you end up inserting a space (:
I feel silly too now. I wonder what other lovely features i also don't yet know about

The search function on FDroid is atrocious. I find all the language packs for Anysoftkeyboard but not the keyboard itself.
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.menny.android.anysoftkeyboa... I think the search function is working fine, the app is just called "AnySoftKeyboard 3D Theme" in the F-Droid app but not on the website for some reason.
When I installed that, my Apps settings page listed the Armenian layout "app".

Yeah, the app name got screwed up for whatever reason.

Thanks for the pointer, though I already know about it. But then I can't change the volume when in a text input field - with headphones and very dynamic music I found this to be an issue.
