iOS floating caret position
Hello, On iOS it is possible to use the keyboard spacebar to move the caret while editing text. The user has to longpress on the spacebar, and then the keyboard would turn into a trackpad that moves around a floating caret. Is there a way to get the position of the caret while the user uses this space bar navigation? And by the position I mean the position in an app or in a frame? Are there any other events that this action can send out? Thanks a lot!

Get Touch Events from iOS keyboard trackpad mode
Hello, As of iOS 17, the keyboard app runs in a different process. I was wondering if there is a way to access the UIView of the keyboard app or if there is a way to subscribe to touch events done on the keyboard (especially during the trackpad mode). By trackpad mode I mean when the user long presses on space and then can move in the keyboard area (that turns into a trackpad) to move the caret in a text. Either Objective C or SwiftUI is fine. Thanks!
