Tab on screen keyboard

[writing-shed]

Given that there is no tab key on the screen kbd have you any idea how to simulate one given that List Processing depends on it. I can set up an item using UIMenuController, but can't work out how to invoke handleKeyCommand.

@writing-shed, you have raised a good point. It looks like API can be improved a little, and I'll find time to expose better construct to be able to do that. Having said that, given the current API design, you can use ListTextProcessor.handleKeyWithModifiers() with appropriate arguments to simulate the same behaviour. For example, executing the following code in Encode button yields the result shown in gif below:

ListTextProcessor().handleKeyWithModifiers(editor: editor, key: .tab, modifierFlags: [], range: editor.selectedRange)

For more such examples, checkout EditorListsSnapshotTests.swift.

Thanks for this, I'll give it a whirl.

I tried doing this using a menu added to the shared UIMenuController, only to discover that there is bug in SwiftUI! It doesn't display the menu, so I've had to submit a bug report.

@writing-shed, shall we close this issue? It might just be helpful to others to mention the bug you've logged in SwiftUI.
