TextField is missing basic features: DEL, selection, navigation, clipboard, singleLine

[eekboom]

I was taking Compose for Desktop for a test drive.
Because our apps are pretty form-heavy, a TextField was one of the first things I tried.
For now it is very alpha. These basic thing do not work:

• DELETE key handling. This is one of the things that I really hate on mobile. On the desktop I just expect it to work.
• Navigation to the beginning/end with POS1/END
• Word-wise navigation using CTRL-LEFT/RIGHT
• Text selection by holding down SHIFT and using navigation (so both SHIFT-POS1 and SHIFT-LEFT should work for example)
• Select all by CTRL-A
• Clipboard support. On Windows please also implement the alternative shortcuts (Copy = CTRL-INS, Paste = SHIFT-INS and Cut = SHIFT-DEL)
• "singleLine = true" does not really work. Currently it only makes the text field visually "single line". I can still press ENTER, but then the caret and the rest of the text gets invisible.

Of course the shortcuts appropriate for the current system/OS should be used.

I tested both with

    var value by savedInstanceState(saver = TextFieldValue.Saver) { TextFieldValue() }
    TextField(
        value = value,
        onValueChange = { value = it },
        singleLine = true
    )

and

    var text by remember { mutableStateOf("") }
    TextField(
        value = text,
        onValueChange = { text = it }
    )

and the behaviour is the same.

plugins {
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.4.21"
    id("org.jetbrains.compose") version "0.3.0-build140"
}

OS: Windows 10 Pro 20H2

我正在将Compose for Desktop用作测试驱动器。
因为我们的应用程序非常笨重，所以TextField是我尝试的第一件事。
现在，它是_非常_alpha的。这些基本的东西不起作用：

• 删除键处理。这是我最讨厌手机的一件事。在桌面上，我只是希望它能工作。
• 导航至POS1 / END的开头/结尾
• 使用CTRL-LEFT / RIGHT逐字导航
• 通过按住SHIFT并使用导航来选择文本（例如SHIFT-POS1和SHIFT-LEFT都应起作用）
• 通过CTRL-A全选
• 剪贴板支持。在Windows上，还请实现其他快捷方式（复制= CTRL-INS，粘贴= SHIFT-INS和剪切= SHIFT-DEL）
• “ singleLine = true”实际上不起作用。当前，它仅使文本字段在视觉上“单行”。我仍然可以按ENTER键，但是插入号和其他文本将不可见。

当然，应该使用适合当前系统/ OS的快捷方式。

我都用

    var value by savedInstanceState(saver = TextFieldValue.Saver) { TextFieldValue() }
    TextField(
        value = value,
        onValueChange = { value = it },
        singleLine = true
    )

和

    var text by remember { mutableStateOf("") }
    TextField(
        value = text,
        onValueChange = { text = it }
    )

和行为是相同的。

plugins {
    kotlin("jvm") version "1.4.21"
    id("org.jetbrains.compose") version "0.3.0-build140"
}

I've been playing around with some shortcuts - https://gist.github.com/eygraber/d35cb777f4ce5d6c936774268ac859a1

Hey! Could you please try it with a new M3? https://blog.jetbrains.com/cross-post/jetpack-compose-for-desktop-milestone-3-released/

I just tried 0.4.0-build168 on Windows and on a Mac (I use BasicTextField) and I don't see any changes from before. Undo, selection, copy/paste, delete, home/end - they all don't work for me.

[kropp]

@timzam these changes are not included in 0.4.0 yet, use 0.3.0

[timzam]

@kropp I just checked 0.3.1 and all features I mentioned in my previous message work there.

Does the current version support context menu? If not, which version will it support?
