Hi Is there any way to enable this cursor handle in Outlined kotlinlang #compose

Hi, Is there any way to enable this cursor handle in OutlinedTextField to allow convenient dragging of cursor across characters? Two cursor handle seem to appear on long press but I want to single handle for short tap and drag.

It should appear on single short tap, can you send a screen recording? Which version of compose and android is this?

Hi, Thank you for your response. I am on compose

1.0.5

The following video was recorded on Pixel4a with Android 12:

And sorry, I made a mistake in the original message. I am using

BasicTextField

for the above search input implementation:

BasicTextField(
    value = textFieldValue,
    onValueChange = onValueChange,
    keyboardActions = KeyboardActions(onSearch = onSearch),
    keyboardOptions = KeyboardOptions(
        imeAction = ImeAction.Search
    ),
    singleLine = true,
    cursorBrush = SolidColor(DsColors.textPrimary),
    textStyle = textStyle
)

One person brings up that they can't get rid of the handle, and another brings up that the handle won't show up. @ zach 😂
