And because they are bad OS citizens. You can’t use the system’s spell checking, dictionary, undo/redo, shortcuts, abbreviations, better text rendering… the list goes on and on.
If it is a webapp, I can at least use Safari, which has none of those issues.
- jeff18 8y agoFWIW, Electron actually supports all of those things, except the text rendering engine.
- tambourine_man 8y agoReally? Never seen a well behaved textarea or input[text] in Chrome. Can you elaborate on how this could be done?
- jeff18 8y agoWorks for me out of the box! spellchekc too. https://www.dropbox.com/s/348mh6wlmuayflp/Screenshot%202018-06-21%2017.36.21.png?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/348mh6wlmuayflp/Screenshot%202018-...
- tambourine_man 8y agoYou're right… kind of. For some reason it's not available throught contextual menu, like other apps, only in the Edit menu. https://imgur.com/a/2FDNDu4 https://imgur.com/a/2FDNDu4 And if the App forgets to expose that option (Skype, for instance), tough noogies.
