Bug Description
There many places, other than the terminal, where users might enter text, in which they might make typoes:
- URLs in browsers
- messages
- ...
However, the keyboard only has cursor keys in the terminal app, but nowhere else.
At least left/right would be handy to fix typoes. Indeed, trying to move cursor by tap is very dicey, due to phat phingers and absence of a stylus.
... or if this is considered "opinion", maybe it could become a configuration option?
Note: even Android has a so-called "hacker's keyboard" app which does have cursor keys (... and other niceties). As Ubuntu phone is a "hacker's phone" by essence, maybe cursor keys should be standard here :-)

... and worse, there are some text fields which can contain longer text than field size. Without cursor keys, there seems to be no obvious way to scroll these back/forth to see beginning/end of text
