Is there way to know when user has finished selecting say an accented letter (when using for example

TextField

). Looks like, when long-pressing, we get

onValueChange

for the non-accented version first and then again when user picks one of options shown

@John O'Reilly AFAIK, there’s no way to do that. And I don’t think there will be any. Because, accented letter works as a replacement for the letter that is already typed. I am curios about your requirement. Would you mind explain the usecase?

I want to automatically move to next field when user types a character.

But if the character is removed, you can go back to the previous field, can't you?

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by character being removed? btw this is for the compose for desktop client in https://github.com/joreilly/WordMasterKMP

macOS is removing the accent-less character when an accented variant is selected, isn't it?

so, first of all we get

onValueChange

for the initial character....and that's what I had been using to trigger moving to next field....but need to somehow find different way to trigger that. We get 2nd

onValueChange

for the accented character

If you move to the next field, you don't receive the second

onValueChange

?

you do get

onValueChange

for the accented character but you've moved to next field at that point and that's where character is entered

Oh, and there's no way to differentiate it from someone with an azerty keyboard typing an a and an à after that?

exactly...at least that's what seems to be the case here

I guess a way would be to have one hidden text input field, and manage display separately, though it'd mess with text selection to some extent.

Seems like this kind of UX would be common enough for something like OTP entry.....but perhaps that typically doesn't require entering accented characters 🙂

Yep, that's what I was thinking

@John O'Reilly Ahaa. got it. valid requirement. 😄 Maybe @Igor Demin might knw if there’s an API/person who can help here.
