Mobile Caret for Godot 4 (WIP)

Godot 4 plugin for customizable, touch-friendly carets on mobile devices. Improves text input visibility and selection ease.

Motivation

Godot's built-in caret can be challenging to see and interact with on smaller screens, particularly on mobile devices. This plugin aims to address that by providing a customizable solution for a more user-friendly caret experience.

Features

• Custom Caret: Use any TextureButton as your text caret, providing greater visibility and touch target area.
• Offset Control: Fine-tune the position of the custom caret relative to the text for optimal placement.
• Text Selection Support: The plugin seamlessly handles text selection, allowing you to drag the custom caret to adjust the selection range.
• Theme Compatibility: Works with various themes and font sizes, ensuring visual consistency.

Installation

• Coming Soon! Detailed installation instructions will be provided as development progresses.

Usage

• The plugin automatically detects when a LineEdit or TextEdit gains focus and replaces the default caret with your custom one.
• During text selection, you can drag the custom caret to adjust the selection range, making it easier to interact with on touchscreens.

Important Notes

• Work in Progress: This plugin is actively being developed. There might be some edge cases or bugs that need to be addressed.
• Feedback and Contributions: Your feedback and contributions are highly valued! This plugin is a work in progress, pull requests are always welcome!
