Is there any way to set the width of an EditText in characters?

Wouldn't just trimming the string work? 
```Text(
  text = myString.take(limit)
)```

oh sorry, my mistake :man-facepalming: Again similarly you have the ability to ignore anything longer than what you want

```var text by remember { mutableStateOf("") }
TextField(
  value = text,
  onValueChange = {
    text = it.take(limit)
  }
)```


argument names might be wrong, haven't used TextField in a while

Yeah, but I want to set the visible width such that it wraps the amount of text in the EditText. As in if `value = "0.000"` I don't want a bunch of whitespace on the right, I want it to end after the last 0

Hmm, that's an interesting challenge. Your best bet might be `onTextLayout` and figuring out how much space your TextField should allocate.

Thanks for the suggestion. It's good to know there's no great solution. If it's numbers with sane fonts I think I can rely on the fact 1em is slightly larger than the width of a zero, so that might work
