Overview

SwiftUI TextEdit View

A proof-of-concept text edit component in SwiftUI & CoreText. No UIKit, No AppKit, no UITextView/NSTextView/UITextField involved.

Note Due to SwiftUI limitations (as of May 2021) it's not possible to handle keystrokes just with SwiftUI. To overcome this limitation, the UIKeyboardViewController is responsible for handling keys and forward to SwiftUI codebase.
