Writing Tools

[easiwriter]

It would be great if Writing Tools works with Proton (as per the WWDC24 video "Get started with writing tools"). It is supposed to work out of the box, but doesn't for me. Any suggestions?

I suppose it will require you to be running iOS 18 Beta to see any options, and likely macOS Sequoia. The video mentions that the tools will be shown if on expected environment, which may mean more than just iOS 18. Also, the same video talks about the fact that for full experience, TextView needs to be using TextKit2. Proton uses TextKit 1 and this, will only get limited experience. Update to TextKit 2 is on the cards but that is going to be a significant change and will take considerable time.

I tried it and don't see that in a standard UITextView either, so the issue is likely elsewhere. This particular thread also seems to indicate that. I'd wait for next beta, or if you have the option to be running Sequoia Beta, that would also be worth trying.

Thanks for this. I guess it’s watch this space! I am using IOS18 and there is no sign of it.
