textkit

TextKit is a powerful framework used for text handling in iOS, macOS, and other Apple platforms. It is integrated into various text views across different frameworks like SwiftUI, UIKit, and AppKit. Here are some key points about TextKit and its usage:

1. Multilingual Support:

   • TextKit 2 ensures that text in any of the user's preferred languages renders correctly in any app. This is particularly useful for multilingual apps where text needs to be displayed beautifully regardless of the language. For example, in the session Build multilingual-ready apps, it is mentioned how TextKit 2 handles Urdu text appropriately without any specific code for Urdu.

2. Writing Tools Integration:

   • Writing tools are a new suite of features available in text fields across all kinds of apps, helping users to proofread, rewrite, or transform text. These tools are integrated with TextKit 2 to provide a seamless experience. For more details, you can refer to the session Get started with Writing Tools.

3. Text Interactions:

   • TextKit 2 supports various text interactions, including text selection, editing, and formatting. For instance, the session Get started with Writing Tools discusses how custom text views can adopt UITextInteraction to get writing tools in the color bar or context menu for free.

4. Text Formatting:

   • The session What’s new in UIKit introduces new text formatting features, including text highlight styles and color schemes, which are part of the enhancements in TextKit 2.
