Hi.
I don't know if this is the case for every Android device, but I have some issues regarding text input in the two aforementioned modes. I'll use three screenshots I've taken to explain myself more clearly.

Consider the following situation: I want to input the expression sin(9-1) + 6 in Result View.

First off, after inputting the first part of the expression -- sin(9-1) --, my text selection bar will refuse to leave the region bounded by the pair of parentheses, as illustrated below:
mm1-rev-2

In order to circumvent the issue, I have to first select the entire sin(9-1)section and then press the [ ] + [ ] button in the tool bar, as shown below:
mm4-rev

Finally, I am once again able to move the text selection bar in my virtual keyboard and get the result I was looking for, which could very easily be inserted in the box via raw text:
mm3-rev

As the left box of the Equation item already works in a raw text fashion, is there any way to give users the option of using raw text instead of the sudo-LaTeX implementation we have now for the other fields/boxes? As you can see, it's quite a hassle to get things to work whenever you want to use more complicated expressions, such as a custom binomial coefficient of (m,n) function. This is a great application and the only issue I have with it is this one.

Thanks.

yeah, i was also having similar difficulty. i am pretty sure there is a pretty solid reason behind it - easy creation of the source for the equations.

but yeah, if possible, then i would like some improvements as well 😜
