Is there a way to enable the partial text selection for copy and paste?

Love RichTextKit! It has been working greatly.
 
Just trying to add the partial text selection function, but we are running to the compatibility issue - the rich text string becomes inconsistent due to compatibility issues between UITextView and SwiftUI, and the UITextView exhibits unusual behavior with respect to its width.
 
The code used is the following -
struct SelectableTextView: UIViewRepresentable {
    let text: String
   
    func makeUIView(context: Context) -> UITextView {
        let textView = UITextView()
        textView.isEditable = false
        textView.isSelectable = true
        textView.text = text
        textView.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 17)
        return textView
    }
   
    func updateUIView(_ uiView: UITextView, context: Context) {
        uiView.text = text
    }
}
 
Any suggestion or guidance will be greatly appreciated!

Hi @lan680

I'm happy to hear that you like it! ...but I'm not sure how this relates to RichTextKit? 🤔

Hi Daniel, I'm a new learner to SwiftUI.

I've opened a issue post along with a screenshot at https://www.reddit.com/r/SwiftUI/comments/1fts4uw/how_to_select_partial_text_using_swiftui/

If you get a chance, would you please take a look? Would love to hear your suggestion. Thank you!
