I often paste a coordinates pair into the Lat as well as the Lon field when searching for a place by its coordinates - so I have to edit these after pasting.
The soft keyboard which pops up doesn't have cursor keys. Is this configurable?

If you are on Android:

1) Install F-Droid: https://f-droid.org/

2) Install "Hacker's Keyboard" from F-Droid:
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/org.pocketworkstation.pckeyboard/

3) Either set "Hacker's Keyboard" as default (what I did), or use the
keyboard selector to pick "Hacker's Keyboard" when you want cursor
keys.

Hackers Keyboard does not help (I have it installed). When entering coordinates it switches to numeric keypad which does NOT use cursors nor letters.
