Description

This issue is for the implementation of long press functionality for keyboard space bars. The space bar of system keyboards can be held to trigger more accurate cursor movement and text selection, which is a very useful feature that Scribe keyboards should include. This issue is as of now not a priority, but could be later as this is expected functionality.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how system keyboards and other third party iOS keyboards implement long press on the space bar for cursor movement and text selection. Study UILongPressGestureRecognizer and UITextInput APIs.
