Does anyone know if SwiftUI's TextEditor has a method equivalent to textField(_:shouldChangeCharactersIn:replacementString:)?

I need to know not only the change in text value but also where in the TextEditor it has occurred.

As far as I know, the answer is NO.

You may need to diff old and new texts by yourself, or keep staying in the UIKit world.

You can send a feature request using Apple's Feedback Assistant.

Thanks for the prompt reply. I feared the answer was no (given there isn't full parity on other UIKit vs SwiftUI components).

For now I will use a UIViewRepresentable and Coordinator to bring UITextView into SwiftUI.
