[Feature Request] Add insertText(text) API to insert plain text at cursor

[shuo-hiwintech]

EnrichedTextInput currently provides formatting commands (bold, image, mention, link, etc.), but there is no API to insert plain text at the current cursor position.

A simple method like:

insertText(text: string): void

would allow developers to implement common features such as inserting emoji (😄), autocomplete suggestions, custom keyboard input, and snippet insertion.
Using setValue() is not a solution because it breaks formatting, history, and cursor state.

This feature requires only minimal native changes and would greatly improve integration with custom input components.

If no one is picking this up maybe I should try to help with this? @exploIF

Though would like to know details before starting working on it, like, what kind of text do we expect to paste there (with or without rich markdown)

Hi @IslamRustamov,

Yes you can try to work on that, thanks!
We would like to implement insertValue(text, start, end) method.

• text - might be normal text or html (the same as inside setValue)
• start - the location where insertion starts
• end - the location where insertion ends
