Is text selection not implemented yet for the WASM target?
If not, is there an ETA?

[Oleksandr Karpovich [JB]]

the current status is "work in progress".

[Edoardo Luppi]

Sounds good, thanks @Oleksandr Karpovich [JB]!
Wanted to test it out in place of a small Angular webapp, but the user should be able to select and copy text.

[Oleksandr Karpovich [JB]]

jfyi to help you decide: it won't be fully implemented in the soonest 1.6.0 stable release.

[Edoardo Luppi]

To give you more context. We have a monorepo which uses KMP (but mostly K/JS) to implement components used in VS Code.
We have extension code implemented in TS, and webviews implemented in Angular.
My target for 2024 would be moving everything to Kotlin, so we have a consistent codebase, and we can easily re-use Compose elements elsewhere we use Kotlin.

Electron will most likely switch very soon to the version of Chromium that has GC enabled by default, and it will propagate down to VS Code.

[Edoardo Luppi]

Sorry, VS Code will update to Electron 28, which already has GC on by default thanks to Chromium.
