Question: What's the best way to keep a vertically scrollable Text object, whose content is always added to, always scrolled to the bottom by default? Thanks!

You mean something like a Chat window ?

Yes, mate thanks.

Specifically a Serial Monitor window, which I have sorta working now!

You can use a LaunchedEffect like this, right?

val list = remember { mutableStateListOf<String>("A") }
val listState = rememberLazyListState()
LaunchedEffect(list.size) {
    listState.animateScrollToItem(list.lastIndex)
}

If you don’t have a LazyRow/Column/Grid , you can modify it something like LaunchedEffect(myText.size) and fire a scroll to bottom event ?

Ok! Thanks mate, I'll look into that. 😎👍
