UITextVew tap in the middle of a word and place the cursor there

In the common behavior of UITextVew if the user taps in the middle of a word the cursor gets placed at the beginning of that word, or in other cases it selects the whole word.

I would like to entirely disable this and just let the user tap anywhere in the UITextVew and place the cursor just there.

Also I would appreciate to know if this is possible too for a UIWebView with contentEditable enabled.

Thanks in advance.

To get this behavior you have to build the text view yourself using core text. Or your only support iOS7. There you will have TextKit.
