Rename UITextView Return key - ios

I'm trying to find a way how to rename the Return Key in a textView. I am sure it is somehow possible despite the fact that some claim it cannot be done.
I already have the return key process another action rather then adding a line. And I know there is a list of other names that can be used to change the title of the return key, but I would like to put in my own text. Does anyone know how this can be done?

As the comments have already stated, you can't change the text of the return key on the keyboard. If you'd like to add a "run" button in a way that's relatively standard I would recommending setting the inputAccessoryViewproperty to be a UIToolBar with a "run" button in it. Something like this, but with "run" instead of "done":

How to change text of return key and make a Custom UIReturnKeyType

We have a number of types available for keyboard return buttons in swift 4 like done, yahoo etc. I want the return key to be Add how can I do that? Is there a way to define a custom UIReturnKeyType type?
There is no way to customize UIReturnKeyType in terms of behavior, button text etc.
For your case, .go or .send might be appropriate.
You can also put a UIButton above the keyboard with the text of your choice.

Extjs 6 Ext.grid.plugin.RowEditing Remove Update / Cancel buttons

I am trying to remove update cancel buttons.
but no any config's are available for this.
I have tried to override but i cant remove this.
please if you have done task like this or know how to do this help me.
You're absolutely right that there is no built-in way to hide the update and cancel buttons with the row editing plugin.
You could try to hide the button bar via CSS. The normal CSS class name is x-grid-row-editor-buttons. But this may cause other problems.
Or, you could try a different editor, such as the CellEditing plugin - this lets you edit one cell at a time, as opposed to showing the editors for the entire row, and doesn't use buttons.
You might be able to remove the button by overriding the Ext.grid.plugin.RowEditing. A quick look at the source shows me an array with in the initEditiorFunction() which looks like this.
btns = ['saveBtnText', 'cancelBtnText', 'errorsText', 'dirtyText'],
Try removing the cancelBtnText button, and perhaps it won't show on there? I haven't tested this but this might be something in the right direction.

nsISelectionDisplay custom highlight controller? (related to nsISelectionController)

I made an addon HiliteOnSelection, when hilight something it uses the SELECTION_FIND context to highlight other instances. The issue with this is that highlight all feature of find bar uses same controller.
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release/source/content/base/public/nsISelectionController.idl#30
Can you please help me to figure out how to create my custom highlight controller and how to style it, the SELECTION_FIND is pink.
This is how i get the selection_find context/controller and highlight with it:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/files/browse/247620/file/bootstrap.js#L147
let findSelection = controller.getSelection(Ci.nsISelectionController.SELECTION_FIND);
findSelection.addRange(aRange);
I got this reply from the addon author. He's a nice guy:
Hey Noitidart,
You might find this one helpful:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/XPCOM_Interface_Reference/nsISelectionController
I'm hardly the master you think I am, actually. :) To change those
colors I just change the values for preferences:
ui.textHighlightBackground ui.textHighlightForeground
ui.textSelectBackgroundAttention -> SELECTION_ATTENTION, it's not a
highlight, it's a normal selection (as you would select some text with
your mouse and it would turn the regular blue blackground, in windows
at least) but it's given "attention", so it has the green background
that the find operation reports. Basically it's a way of showing the
user "Here I am!!" after firefox automatically selecs the text he
searched for.
And I really don't know most of those contants, SELECTION_NORMAL is
for normal text selection, like it would be when you select text with
your mouse, SELECTION_FIND is for the highlights, and I only know the
ON/HIDDEN/OFF/DISABLED ones which are self-explanatory.
SELECTION_SPELLCHECK is probably for the auto-correct when you are
typing in an editable content node, but I'm just guessing that one
from the name.
Also, as far as I know, it's not possible to just create custom
selection ranges/contants, as the code simply won't recognize them
without editing the C++ code as well. Which is actually one of the
reasons I haven't implemented
https://github.com/Quicksaver/FindBar-Tweak/issues/76 yet.
Hope any of this helps. I'm sorry to disappoint on the custom
controller thing.
Luís Miguel
So he changes the colors with a simple pref change. I'm going to have to dig into how that pref changes it.
He also thinks its not possible to create custom controllers without C++, I hope this is not true I'll keep digging if anyone can help that would be great.

Add a Text Link to a TextView

Is it possible to add a text link into a TextView? I want the link to perhaps behave like a button, where I can assign an action to it.
EDIT: When I say assign an action, I mean actually giving it something in the code. I'm wondering if it's possible to dynamically add a "button" into text that I can assign a coded action to.
Live scenario
Think of something like a dictionary app. Maybe the definition of one word uses another word that you might not know the definition of, so being able to click on that word to instantly search it rather than having to type it in would be a nice user friendly feature. It seems rather unlikely, though, I guess.
I would recommend using NIAttributedLabel from Nimbus, an open source iOS library. You can specify text ranges that are links, and you get delegate messages sent when a user taps on it.
Main Nimbus site: http://nimbuskit.info/
NIAttributedLabel docs: http://docs.nimbuskit.info/interface_n_i_attributed_label.html
in the inspector, go to the Text View Attributes tab then make sure "Detect Links" is checked.
Yes you can. Add the URL into the text view, then open up the Attributes Inspector. You will see an option in there to detect links.
I know of a way, but its a LOT of work. First, you have an NSAttributedString that you have the text view display. Second, attribute the range of text you want to be the button. Third, assign a tap gesture recognizer to the text view and in the method called by the recognizer, you'll use core text to determine if the tap happened over the range of text that represents the buttons.
Heres how youll use core text: create a framesetter with the attributed string. Create a frame from the framsetter with the shape of a square that is the frame of the text view, inset by the padding of the text view. The frame will allow you to get the y origins of every line in the text view and and once you know what line the tap happened on, you can use the line to then figure out exactly what character was tapped on that line by giving it an x offset. Once you know character index on the line, you can add it to the beginning of the range of the line and get the index of the character within the whole string. Then you can check if its within the range of the text that is your button. If it is, you can then call a method to simulate a target action type behavior.
Ive explained the process of how to accomplish this and specified what kinds of core text objects youll need, ill let you look up the specific api details:
https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Carbon/Reference/CoreText_Framework_Ref/_index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40005304
You can also use my objc core text wrapper:

What about CoreText? It Can draw many kinds of Text .

changing keyboard return key label text

Iphone's onscreen keyboard has a number of predefined labels for its return key: done, return, go, google, etc. In my case I just want it to say Save, but it's not in the list. How can I create my own?
You can't. UIKeyboard is read-only.
