I can create a hyperlink to some url in an NSTextView using the "Link Panel". Or I can add a link manually using the NSLinkAttributeName attribute of NSAttributedString. I don't want to make a hyperlink to some external url though, I want to be able to create a hyperlink to some text within the NSTextView. Do you know how in Pages you can set some text as a Bookmark, and then you can make a hyperlink to that bookmark? Any ideas or examples of how to go about that? I haven't done this in a while so take this with a grain of salt but it goes something like: You need to define a protocol for you

I am trying to change the background color of a portion of text that is selected by the user to a different color (to add a highlight) to the text. Now I have tried the: (void)setSelectedTextAttributes:(NSDictionary *)attributes method but that only changes the background color of the selection. I need the to change the background color of text so that it stays highlighted. As you've discovered, the selected text attributes only apply to the text while it's selected. If you want to add some attributes to the selected text that persist, you'll need to apply those attributes to the underlying

I have a NSTextView , which is supposed to be fixed size. When the text comes to the bottom line and to the right edge of the designated frame I need to set the NSLineBreakByTruncatingTail in order to present user with elliptic signs and disable further typing. When I do this through setting a paragraph style on textStorage of NSTextView the text scrolls up and I see only the last line with elliptic signs in the end. My question is how to prevent NSTextView from scrolling when changing its lineBreakMode ? Thanks, Nava EDIT: (added screenshots) Before: After: Now here's the code that does it: -

How can I get the selected text's string from a NSTextView as an NSString ? Your help is greatly appreciated. Since NSTextView is a subclass of NSText, you can use NSText instance methods to figure out the selected string like so: NSString *selected = [[myTextView string] substringWithRange:[myTextView selectedRange]]; An NSText can have more than only one selection. Check it out with TextEditapp: select a string with the mouse while pressing CMD. So you can select as many strings as you want. Therefore I think, a more common solution is to use: NSArray *ranges = [myTextView selectedRanges];

How do I insert emoji into an NSTextView without moving the line down? If I insert an emoji character into an NSTextView , the whole line will shift down a couple pixels. If I remove the emoji character, it will move back up to its original position. On the other hand, if I insert an emoji into an NSTextField , the line doesn't move at all, even when the text in the line is the same font and size as it was in the NSTextView . You can see this behavior in TextEdit. When you are typing in the main editor area (an NSTextView ), emoji make the lines move down. When you are typing in the Find
