I have a question related to TextField . How can I open a hyperlink instead of the keyboard?

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

Please elaborate. When/under what conditions do you want to open the hyperlink?

[Jorge Rodríguez]

When I’m editing a text with styles I have a text with a link but instead of opening the keyboard I want to open the hyperlink. Is that possible ?

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

first of all, TextField doesn’t support editing text with styles at all right now, so i’m curious how you’re doing that.

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

But yea, you can use the same technique as ClickableText – use onTextLayoutResult and a click handler to detect the click

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

Then use UriHandler to open the URL

[Jorge Rodríguez]

I’m working with a custom Textfield that keeps the styles

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

We’re working on proper hyperlink support right now, but it won’t come to text fields until next year

[Jorge Rodríguez]

Thanks @Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD] for the advice

[Jorge Rodríguez]

Maybe for the BTF2 ?

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

yes it will only be BTF2

[Jorge Rodríguez]

Just one more question . Do you have plans for BTF2 to support multi styles ?

[Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD]]

Yes. Styles would likely be a pre-requisite for supporting links.
