Jelly Bean Keyboard - Cursor Keys

Ever wanted to add cursor movement keys to your text messaging experience? The Jelly Bean Keyboard includes this option, but it's somewhat hidden. Here's how to find and enable it.

First, download the app from the Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jlsoft.inputmethod.latin.jbk43.free&hl=en

Now look for Jelly Bean Keyboard 4.3 you installed earlier from the Play Store, and tap the gear icon next to that to enter settings for the keyboard.

The result? This:
