Descrizione

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.
