SwipeSelection Jailbreak Tweak Brings iPad text Editing Concept to Life! [Update]
David Hooper’s keyboard concept comes to life with the Developer Kyle Howells has been able to develop that iPad text editing app, which he plans to submit it today, reports iDB.
Howells has created a jailbreak tweak for jailbroken iPads that imitates the original demo video to a tee. There’s precision one-finger editing, faster two finger editing, and selection capability by means of tapping the shift key prior to dragging a finger. It works pretty much exactly like you saw in Hooper’s video.
Howells jailbreak app is said to work ‘extremely well’ and will be released for free today on Cydia store under the BigBoss repo.
The tweak is named as SwipeSelection and supports both iPad and iPhone.
[Update]: Swipe has been released, just go to BigBos repo and get it…

This is awesome! I really hope Apple decides to roll this out as a formal update. They might consider that to be caving in or admitting error in not originally including it, but its such a smart way of editing.
