On many Android keyboards you can hold and drag on the space bar to do the same. You can also drag back on backspace to delete whole words/sentences. Similarly unintuitive though, I only know about it because I saw someone else mention it on the Internet.

Gboard also now comes with an "arrow keys" panel that you can access by clicking the Google logo.

I would love to have this, but when I click the logo I just get a search box??

For me personally it's a coin toss whether it moves the cursor or inserts a space.

I enable the arrow keys row on SwiftKey and move with them. Phones are so tall nowadays that a few extra pixels in the keyboard mean nothing.
