The trigger is slightly different on GBoard. Rather than long press and hold, you just touch the spacebar and drag right away. Press too long and the language options show up.
The other big difference with this is it’s a 1-Dimensional traversal so it’s like having the left and right arrow keys but not the up and down keys.
On my a android 11 / miui 12.5.2 pressing space bar to move cursor works without any problems.
Maybe Xiaomi implemented what iOS did in their miui, however same feature is not present in GBoard or SwiftKey :/
Swiftkey has that option. Settings -> Input

Oh my god thank u so much was really missing that from iOS. And airplay of course 🥲
Wow I didn’t know, thanks for letting me know. Even the 1D traversal helps. Keeping one language makes this feature prominent.
