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 😂
