I'm trying to implement editable Text myself, and I'm stuck right at the beginning - how to show the cursor when the user clicks somewhere in the text? ClickableText gives me the index of the clicked character, but that's not enough to show the cursor - I need the pixel position and the height of the cursor to display. Any pointers appreciated...

It seems that BasicTextField and onTextLayout should do the trick... mabye?

If not, you could see how it is implemented. <https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:compose/foundation/foundation/src/commonMain/kotlin/androidx/compose/foundation/text/CoreTextField.kt|https://cs.android.com/androidx/platform/frameworks/support/+/androidx-main:compose/[…]Main/kotlin/androidx/compose/foundation/text/CoreTextField.kt>

thanks, will take a look at that as well!

ClickableText.kt is actually pretty illuminating! It might actually work :wink:
