Alright, weekly-ish update for mid-november:
A whole bunch of my MRs got merged:
- Input Method support got merged, we eventually couldn’t figure out how to prevent it from displaying the suggestions window over the text when in vertical, which is a bit of a pity, and there’s still a whole bunch of platform-specific stuff that I’m unsure of how we’re going to tackle that.
- I managed to get cross-layer text shape selection to work and it got merged! This means you can click any text on any editable layer to begin editing them.
- I also managed to get the SVG paint order property to work and this too got merged. While you could achieve something similar with the layer styles already, this has the benefit of being compatible with eventually being able to set the stroke color on given spans of text (as well as inkscape compatibility).
I’m currently working on the text-creation / inline-size editing improvements. I’ll also be working on making the blinking cursor/caret a bit nicer, and in between that there’s a number of smaller fixes I need to tackle too.
