I have proposed a capacitive & resistive hybrid before but left and right arrows with Shift+arrow text selection would work for me.
You can modify the keyboard to add left and right keys see:

If you use the swype keyboard then simply swipe right from the swype symbol (bottom left) and you will get arrows.
