As mentioned in the header, after one of the recent updates the text editing tool where you could precisely select, cut, copy and paste text is now missing. Transparent pop up apps were discontinued, Bluetooth on s-pen, dex on pc, then this. I cannot imagine how I'm in such a minority of the people who used all of those that Samsung had to discontinue yet another useful feature. If they at least implemented the backspace delete gesture like on gboard and some other alternatives it would be half as bearable, but now there are literally zero options for precise text editing outside of an awkward "start gliding from the space bar and then hold shift". Still that doesn't bring back the ability to delete from the beginning up to/from the pointer to the end of the document

I strongly agree with you on everything you said. It is extremely frustrating how Samsung keeps removing things from their phones. Their phones are becoming more and more frustrating with each update. They might take 1 step forward and then 2 steps back. Theree was NO GOOD REASON TO REMOVE THE TEXT EDITOR. And DeX for PC had the potential to be the best workflow tool ever if it was developed more. You could just plug your phone to your PC, and work on both seamlessly and effortlessly, without having to constantly grab your phone, or deal with signing into things like WhatsApp for Windows or Link to Windows, etc.
I am extremely frustrated with Samsung. They seriously keep disappointing me with all these weird decisions.

I really miss the text editor tool, it made the Samsung Keyboard the most comfortable and efficient keyboard to use. It made text editing so easy and precise. I seriously wonder why Samsung removed it for no reason. It is so EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING! Please keep voicing your opinions as much as possible and as loud as possible.
