Add richer annotation editing, curved arrows, and highlights - #5
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughAnnotation editing now supports selection, movement, resizing, curved arrows, styling, highlights, text updates, deletion, and bounded undo/redo. The editor exposes these controls, and integration tests validate editing and styled PNG export. ChangesAnnotation editing
Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Annotation editing is broadly covered, but undo and redo may affect annotations instead of focused text fields, risking unexpected edits. The README also describes obsolete tools and fixed red markup. Resolve the shortcut conflict before merge and update the documentation. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

SwiftUI macOS keyboardShortcut command Z overrides TextField undo first responder
💡 Result:
In SwiftUI for macOS, standard keyboard shortcuts (like Command-Z for Undo) are handled by the application's menu system (NSMenu) [1]. When a TextField or TextEditor is the first responder, the system naturally routes these commands to the text field's internal undo manager. If you find your custom keyboard shortcuts are overriding this behavior, it is typically because the shortcut is being registered at a higher scope (like a global.commands block) or incorrectly attached to a view that intercepts the responder chain [2]. To resolve conflicts where a custom shortcut inadvertently overrides or interferes with TextField undo functionality: 1. Check Command Scope: If you are defining CommandGroup or other menu items that use Command-Z, ensure they are properly scoped or conditionally disabled [3][4][2]. You can use the.disabled modifier on menu buttons to prevent them from firing when you want the TextField to take precedence [3][2]. 2. Avoid Redundant Shortcut Registration: SwiftUI automatically provides standard Edit menu functionality (Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, Redo) if your app includes the default command set. If you are manually adding Command-Z in a.commands block, you may be creating a conflict [4][1]. Relying on the system default Edit menu is often sufficient for text fields [1]. 3. Leverage the Environment UndoManager: For custom undo/redo logic that needs to coexist with text fields, obtain the undo manager from the environment rather than defining manual keyboard shortcuts [5][6]. @Environment(.undoManager) var undoManager This allows you to link your custom undo actions to the same manager used by the text fields, ensuring consistent behavior [5][6]. 4. Control Priority with.disabled: If you must define a custom command that uses the same key combination as a system command, you can use.disabled to deactivate your custom command when the text field is focused or when the functionality is not intended to be active [2]. If you are building a custom view or hosting SwiftUI in a non-standard way, ensure the responder chain is correctly passed to the hosting view [1]. In standard SwiftUI apps, keeping command definitions modular and using the environment's undo manager is the best practice to maintain expected text-editing behavior [4][5].

site:developer.apple.com SwiftUI View keyboardShortcut key equivalent focused text field undo macOS
💡 Result:
In SwiftUI on macOS, standard text editing operations—including Undo (Command-Z) and Redo (Shift-Command-Z)—are handled automatically by the system for native TextField and TextEditor components [1]. You do not need to manually map these keyboard shortcuts to enable them; they are natively supported when the text field is focused [2][1]. To ensure these commands are correctly exposed in your app's Edit menu, you should include the built-in text editing commands in your App scene [2]: @main struct MyApp: App { var body: some Scene { WindowGroup { ContentView }.commands { TextEditingCommands // Enables standard Undo/Redo/Copy/Paste/etc. } } } If you are implementing custom undo/redo behavior outside of standard text fields (or need to hook into the system UndoManager), you should use the environment's UndoManager [3][4]: @Environment(.undoManager) var undoManager Inside your view, you can trigger undo or redo actions programmatically [3][4]: Button("Undo") { undoManager?.undo }.keyboardShortcut("z", modifiers:.command) Button("Redo") { undoManager?.redo }.keyboardShortcut("z", modifiers: [.command,.shift]) Note that the keyboardShortcut modifier is primarily for adding custom menu items or buttons that trigger actions via keyboard triggers [5][6]. For standard text editing within a TextField, the system-level UndoManager already handles these shortcuts automatically, provided the text field is the first responder [1]. If your undo shortcuts are not working, ensure your app is properly configured to support the Edit menu commands [7][2].

SwiftUI macOS Button keyboardShortcut Command-Z TextEditor focused conflict
💡 Result:
In SwiftUI for macOS, assigning Command-Z (or other system-standard shortcuts) to a Button via .keyboardShortcut can lead to conflicts because SwiftUI resolves shortcuts in a specific, prioritized traversal order [1][2]. When a TextEditor is focused, it expects to handle system-standard undo/redo operations [3]. If a custom button also claims that shortcut, it can intercept the event or trigger unexpected behavior [1]. To resolve or mitigate this conflict, consider the following strategies: 1. Avoid Overriding System Standards: Whenever possible, avoid using .keyboardShortcut for Command-Z, Command-X, Command-C, or Command-V [4]. These are standard macOS system commands handled automatically by the responder chain and the system UndoManager when a text component is active [5][6]. 2. Use Commands API for App-Wide Shortcuts: If you must redefine a shortcut, use the Commands API in your App or WindowGroup definition [7]. Using CommandGroup(replacing:) or CommandGroup(after:) is more appropriate for managing menu items and their associated keyboard equivalents than attaching .keyboardShortcut modifiers to individual UI buttons scattered throughout the view hierarchy [7]. 3. Implement Custom Undo/Redo Logic: If you are encountering crashes or functional issues when using multiple TextEditors, it is often due to the way SwiftUI manages UndoManager internally [8][3]. Many developers resolve this by: - Wrapping the text input in a UIViewRepresentable (using UITextView or NSTextView) to gain explicit control over the UndoManager [9][10][3]. - Providing an UndoManager via the environment or directly to the text component to ensure the responder chain correctly routes undo/redo actions [9][10]. 4. Check for Conflicts: If you are building a feature that allows users to customize keyboard shortcuts, you may need to implement a mechanism to check for existing system shortcuts to warn the user [11]. There is no native SwiftUI API to query if a specific key combination is reserved by the system, so this usually requires external verification or a pre-defined list of reserved keys [4][11]. In summary, the best practice is to allow TextEditor to handle standard text operations naturally and only use the Commands API for app-specific functionality that does not overlap with essential system editing commands [5][7]. If you are experiencing crashes, ensure your UndoManager is being managed consistently across view transitions [8][3].

Do not bind ⌘Z or ⇧⌘Z to annotation buttons while text controls can be focused. AnnotationDocument.undo() and redo() use separate annotation history, while TextField and TextEditor use text-editing undo. The duplicate shortcuts can intercept those standard commands. Gate them when either control has focus, or use the window UndoManager.

QuickShot annotations can now be selected and refined after drawing. Add translucent highlights, change color and stroke thickness/dashes, resize text and toggle bold, move or resize marks, and drag an arrow’s center handle to curve its stem. The curved arrow passes through the dragged point and its head follows the curve tangent. PNG, clipboard, and collection output use the same renderer without selection handles.
Undo/redo now covers edits and Clear, with one history entry per drag. Text labels can be edited after placement. The inspector distinguishes styling selected marks from styling new ones, and disables irrelevant stroke controls for text/highlights.
Validation: release and collection tests, new canvas-event regression tests for draw/select/move/resize/bend and undo/redo, text edits/styles, and a real PNG pixel test for translucent highlight output. Universal Intel/Apple Silicon build passes. Native UI verified drawing an arrow, bending its center, applying dashes, highlighting screenshot text, and placing a resized regular-weight text label.
