[NTLK] Arrow keys to move left and right

Related to my coveting problem, here's a problem I frequently have -
positioning the cursor precisely to fix a word. You're off the mark by a
letter and want to move the cursor, if you tap a character over you're
almost guaranteed to bring up the caret menu. Arrgh, no arrow keys.

Now when I got my original 130 it came with Vitamin A, which had handy
arrow keys, but never got it re-registered, because that was about the
only thing I used on it. Also a pain if you wanted to move two characters.
  I'd really like something in the Notes toolbar that just moved the cursor
left and right, maybe with a delete too. (Would go well next to Note
Scroller for up and down a notch.) One tap simplicity.

Does such a thing exist, or have I just found my first programming project?
