Beschreibung
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.
