I want this:

TextFieldValue(
  cursorPosition = text.length
)

Manipulating the cursor position causes weird bugs when using a hardware keyboard.
Especially around new lines.

So just to clarify, you’re trying to configure a text field to have an immovable cursor? And the reason for doing so is to workaround hardware keyboard bugs?

@Zach Klippenstein (he/him) [MOD] No, the opposite, I want the cursor position to be settable with out causing bugs.

Best way to do that is file issues for the bugs you found 🙂 Tracker is linked in the channel topic

Yeah I guess I will have to do that.
But also having a more intuitive way of interacting with the cursor would be nice.

Although having a fixed cursor would be interesting for inserting text?

I guess what I really want is a built in rich text editor composable lol

BasicTextField is not able to handle newline chars when the keyboard used is not the official one provided by Google [185709839] - Visible to Public - Issue Tracker
This looks like the bug I found.
