Hello, I’m looking for something equivalent for An...
# compose

Or something where we can customize the actions on selected text (if possible)

when selecting a text/input the contextual menu is automatically displayed, so I can’t use the dropdown

@Alexander Maryanovsky sorry for pinging you, but probably you're the best person to answer here

I don’t know of anything like that for iOS/Android, and I even think there isn’t such a thing, but maybe someone in #C0346LWVBJ4 or #C04TPPEQKEJ knows.

On native way, it’s possible to customize the contextual menu of a selected text. Just I wanted to know if it was implemented on compose multiplatform.
So by the issue you add (and the linked), it’s not possible at the moment. So I move away from compose (for now).
a
You can probably implement your own context menu without too much difficulty.
That’s one of Compose’s strengths.
f
For this, I need to override the behavior of the default contextual menu, someone has an idea?
a
Roughly, add a long-press listener to the textfield, and open a context menu.
return 
true
in the listener to consume the event, to prevent the default menu from opening.

I guess, I will give it a try, but it will be a long journey to override the behavior of a selected text.
a
If you’re not familiar with Compose, you’ll have a bit of a learning curve ahead of you.
But if that’s what makes or breaks using Compose for you, then it’s worth it.

Digging inside the API to understand how the contextual menu is working, this is managed on foundation level (See SelectionToolbarAndHandles) just beside the cursor behaviour. Thanks, I don’t have time for overriding that, I’m going to find another solution.
Nevermind, I found something https://stackoverflow.com/questions/68956792/floating-toolbar-for-text-selection-jetpack-compose It works well on Compose multiplaform for Android but not well at all for iOS.
