Hi everyone, does anybody knew how to set gravity or align text to end ? basically, cursor starts from the right using BaseTextField

[Siyamed]

it is TextAlign

[Siyamed]

why do you want cursor to start from right?

[Siyamed]

is it because of the language? do you want to move the cursor to end?

[Christian]

Hey @jim Thanks for tagging the right person! Hey @Siyamed, Yes! basically I want to start from the right to left, not specifically because of the language but it's the requirement. Like how I did on xml, I just set textAlignment to viewEnd

[Christian]

@Siyamed, I believe TextAlign is only applicable on Text but not on BaseTextField

[Siyamed]

Got it. Can you please create a ticket about it? I would appreciate if you can describe the use case as well (in the ticket)

[Christian]

I already had created it yesterday! Here is the link https://issuetracker.google.com/170785134. Let me know if its all the use cases you need. Thank you! 🙏 🙇

Hey @Siyamed I got it! I just want to put it out here for anyone who will encounter next! Thank you

Column(with(ColumnScope) {
    Modifier.weight(1f)

    BaseTextField(
        textStyle = TextStyle(textAlign = TextAlign.End),
        textColor = textColor,
        cursorColor = textColor,
        value = textState,
        onValueChange = {
            textState = it
        },
        modifier = Modifier.background(textField)
