[Feature Request] Text color and highlighting on iOS PWA

[uwkopf840]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I've been using Cryptee on web for a while and installed the iOS PWA recently. Unless I'm dumb and don't see where it is, the text color and highlighting options in Docs aren't available on the mobile version toolbar?

Describe the solution you'd like
I want to be able to change text color and highlighting on the iOS PWA.

Additional context
iOS version 17.6.1
Installed with Safari

Hi there! 👋🏻
Thanks for filing this!

There is actually a pretty funny reason why our color highlighter doesn't work on mobile at the moment.

It is a shortcoming of how mobile operating systems and their text selection works in general. In short, when you select a text, then tap away, the selection is gone. For some block level changes (like heading / font sizes etc) we ended up building a custom font panel that combats this, but for colors, it's a bit more tricky, since it would need to be a larger list, it would require a scrollable dropdown, and unlike headings / fonts etc, colors aren't block-level, which causes mobile devices to lose text-selection / focus entirely.

We're working on a better text-selection system for mobile — which will, where needed fill in as a substitute to where mobile text selection comes short. And a better color-picker feature in general (mobile and desktop), we hope to address some of these issues once that feature is ready.

Stay tuned, and I'll keep this thread updated!

Many thanks for your patience,

Best,

J
