The holy grail of text editing on the N9 was that key page with cursors and common auxiliary keyboard buttons that you get on a long press of ABC (Edit) in the number key page of the Swype keyboard. I didn't know it even existed for like the first couple of months and then I incidentally changed to it and started puking rainbows. The only thing it misses are shift / ctrl keys to allow you to easily select words / lines.

I have pretty much given up editing text and posting on forums / blogs on my N9 prior to that 'discovery', especially on pages with limited text entry fields where scrolling to select/change a word would become so frustrating that I couldn't even bother. If Sailfish doesn't have such keypage on their keyboard - they need to add it ASAP (or we need Swype for Sailfish). No matter how precise your digitizer is, sometimes you just cannot beat good ol' key select.
