Description

iOS has implemented cursor functionality when navigating the custom phrase screen. This cursor is just a placeholder and does not allow you to move within the actual phrase.

Steps:

  1. Launch application
  2. Bring up the custom phrase keyboard

Result: Start Typing... message is displayed

Expected: We should show a typing cursor instead and remove the "Start typing..." text to match iOS

Research direction

Start by launching the Android application and opening the custom phrase keyboard to reproduce the current "Start typing..." state. Trace the custom phrase creation screen's placeholder behavior and compare it with the iOS reference. Done means the text is removed and a blinking, non-editable cursor placeholder is shown when the screen opens.
