This is great, I think it supplants https://www.objc.io/issues/5-ios7/getting-to-know-textkit/ as my go to introduction to TextKit.

For iOS 15.0 or later/MacOS Monterey or later, you want to look at TextKit 2. See https://developer.apple.com/documentation/appkit/textkit/usi...

That’s a new layout engine that currently is the default for text fields and on iOS and MacOS, but likely will be the only option some time in the future.

Indeed!

I want to migrate Paper to it this or next year.
