Hi, this question is more about guidance because I'm not sure where to start. I have a

TextField

, and to highlight of the text with colours, say given a list of words to highlight. Basically - syntax highlighting. The image attached gives you an idea of what I mean. Would I have to make my own

TextField

component for this?

Have a look at

VisualTransformation

for adding colours.

Maybe you can have a look at the CFD sample: https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-jb/tree/master/examples/codeviewer

Oh, I had no idea about the Compose Desktop examples. Thanks!

It uses a Text element not TextField but i think the highliting also works in TextField. See: EditorView.kt:LineContent

We don't have support for multi-style text editing yet, hopefully soon this would be possible without VisualTransformation.
