Way to forward-/backspace without deleting

[anon(6139840)]

Since I can't find an answer anywhere I'm guessing I can't get there from here.

Just wondering if there's any way when typing to forward or backspace without tapping the screen fifty-eleven times or deleting spaces to position the cursor exactly where I want it?

I've had Type 1 Diabetes for 40 years and have lost a lot of the feeling in my fingers so positioning the cursor is sometimes a major PITA.

Thanks!
