Text Entry UX is Horrible
Any of the text entry fields in Horizon Worlds are simply usability horrors. The field to enter text is very small, and there is no easy way to scroll it. It should, at least:
- be significantly wider
- expand vertically when the user enters newlines (not <br>)
- permit easy scrolling of the field both horizontally and vertically
- have saner selection behavior (it's very unpredictable right now)
- allow copy/paste between text fields in different gizmos
- have a straight raycast at the keyboard rather than a droopcast that makes it nigh impossible to select a text position in the field if the keyboard is up.
- support more symbol glyph entry directly on the keyboard
- support voice dictation

Seems much simpler to just implement USB keyboard support.

Je suis d'accord il manque cruellement le copier coller pour le mode éditeur ou pour le jeux devoir copier de donnés vectoriel pour les sripte a la main et horriblement chiant pour la création de position dans les scripte

It would also be nice if you didn't need to know html and could simply format text like you can in Word or any other text based application

Even just an addition to the keyboard that allows Select (All), Copy, Paste. That alone would be an immense improvement. :)

Text input at this scale is critical. Apple will have cross device copy paste. fixthis now please.

Also, you cannot select or delete trailing whitespace in a text field. It's definitely there, tho.

why is the keyboard getting only superficial updates?

I would love to see an option for the text gizmo to have an expandable text box, or at least the option to see multiple lines. It would help us visualize better, and let us modify our entered text easier. Currently, if you have to write a long string of text with multiple lines, you can only see a 3-4 words a time. If you need to change something, it can take a long time to try and get back to the start of the text line. Thank you!

Are you saying the input field should be a multi-line text area rather than a single line? I agree.

The text box is very small. It would be wonderful to have either a bigger text box or the ability to resize the text box to be able to see more of the text that is being typed.
