Caret/Cursor Control

[Guzzler3]

Reading through all the posts on the caret/cursor control change in WP8.1, you either love it or hate it.

So I thought it is time to start a poll, with a twist. You get three options:
Keep the old method WP 8.0
Keep the new method WP 8.1
Combine the two (either by default, or switchable in the keyboard settings).

New looks better but the old worked better IMO.

Maybe they should give an option in the settings for us to select which one to be set as default.

That's the third poll choice

If by "looks better" you mean, more visible then I agree. But new is harder to position if not in center of text box. I vote for option.

Yaa,me too the first one was better
It's hard to touch on that small point of new cursor
Positioning takes much more time than it took in earlier one

I like the new way. You don't have to be precise at all, just touch any blank space to bring it up.

The old method still works! ...sort of. You can press and hold to bring up the caret but moving it about it still with the new 'handle'.

Definitely the old 8.0 method...

My fingers are so big, being a martial artist and fighter, that for me the old method is so much easier. This new method is nearly impossible for me to use. But what can you do, really.

It is not needed to press in the circle, you can touch in the cursor itself.

The new is better, a lot better than the 8.0 cursor.

Ok after getting used to it
I cant believe its so simple
Almost same as 8.0 but with improved performance
