There are none. You just use the optical trackpad instead.
Thanks for the prompt reply, but I am very clumsy and wonder if there is a keyboard out there I could load to get cursor keys back?
All the best,
Sam.
Use this:

You can map the volume button to move cursor
smarter keyboard pro allows you to have the keyboard arrows
in fact it's so good that when using the normal keyboard, you can just swipe in an direction to have the arrow keys displayed
also provides you with the stock android keyboard
would recommend
I've been reading a lot of posts about people having issues with not having arrow keys on the new Gingerbread keyboard. To access the arrow keys all you have to do is press and hold the Space bar and flick your finger up. and the arrow keys will appear on there own row at the bottom of the keyboard. Hope this helps!!
Arrow Keys on Keyboard
When I first read this post I was super excited since this is one thing I really miss from HTC Sense. I have tried to hold the space key and flick my finger up but no arrow keys
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! I was about to purchase the full keyboard from the market until I googled "gingerbread keyboard arrow keys" and found this post.
Big Shout out!
I'm coming from a phone with a trackball... a MyTouch 3G that I had kept current thanks to CyanogenMod. This is much better lol.
I used that trackball though, all the time, mostly for selecting text that I'd screwed up... or to move the cursor between words where I wanted to add a sentence. But sometimes was nice too, for moving to the next form field, or scrolling focus to the "submit" button, etc.
I'm pretty happy with my Swiftkey X keyboard - it's got an option to enable arrow keys. I'm surprised Swype doesn't? I'm used to Swype and really would like to use that.
So my question is twofold:
Any other good keyboards with either a simulated trackpad or arrow keys?
and/or...
How do you live without it? I can adapt if I know the tricks.

Hackers keyboard is nice. Has the four arrows and a number row. Plus you can enlarge or reduce the keys.
The best solution I have found so far is an app called GameKeyboard. The dpad simulates the repeated keypress of a held down arrow key, or joystick (which is essential for many games).
However, it has bugs, and the qwerty mode is slow (you swipe horizontally across the keyboard to switch between gamepad mode and keyboard mode). I enable it specifically for games, and then switch back to my main keyboard (i.e. swype) for everything else.
Here's a link:

in swype there is an arrow option. swype from the swype/option button to the sym/123 button and a arrow keypad comes up. also from sym/123 button to "f" brings up a number pad.
thumb keyboard has arrows
Is there a way to shift the third row keys to the left so they align like a regular QWERTY keyboard? I'm having a hard time typing when they're vertically aligned. Or is there another keyboard that does this?
Thanks
Anyone know if there's a keyboard with the third row (below the home row) shifted to the left a bit?
