Hi @wayou, this feature sounds like a great idea, but we need consistency throughout our app and it is supposed to have a mimicked UI of Xcode. Xcode doesn't have round text selection. I might reconsider opening a PR for this if you tell me why we need round text selection. Every CodeEdit feature is backed by why it was implemented. Also, please provide a detailed response for each question, not just a few words.

Thank you for your suggestion @wayou. This looks very nice and would make a great addition to CodeEdit. As this is not the default behavior of Xcode, if we did something like this it would need to be under a togglable setting disabled by default.

@maxsuaudeau Anyone is more than welcome to open an issue as long as it pertains to forward development of the project which this issue does.

i think if we implement this feature, it needs to be disabled by default. See this stack overflow post, it might help https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16362407/nsattributedstring-background-color-and-rounded-corners

Hi @maxsuaudeau, glad to hear your reply. I'm long for such an editor with native experience and Xcode like well designed UI. But Xcode lacks of some convenient behavior like rich language support, format on save, etc.

I think the round text selection looks so great which is much more mac style, so I wonder if we can have it in CodeEdit.
