I've always been annonyed that when you send looooooooong message for example and then have made typo in the name and use shift+up to get the message back to editor, that you can't go back and correct it without erasing.
Well, apparently you can as I accidentally found out other day.
While editing the typed text, try shift+left/right and shift+home/end.
I've no idea since when it has been like it but it's great!
There's probably loads who would like to do that but didn't know it was possible, I certainly didn't until I accidentally hit shift+home other day! :)

Yay! Didn't know about the home+end. Did know about going left or right though. But when you go left to go back, you stop up after a little while. So thanks for the tip :D

I wish you could click in the text to position the cursor.

Note if you have a long piece of text though - longer than your text box width, shift+home sends you beyond the viewable area, so you can't actually see what you are editing - which is really annoying as its the long texts that you particuarly want to edit.
