Swift version: 5.6
iOS provides built-in gestures for undo, redo, copy, and paste in text views, triggered using a variety of three-finger moves – swiping left and right, or pinching in or out respectively. If you have existing gestures that collide with these, you can disable the system gestures by overriding the editingInteractionConfiguration
property to return .none
.
For example, if you have a UITextView
as a property inside a UIViewController
and you wanted to disable three-finger gesture support inside that view controller, you would override editingInteractionConfiguration
like this:
override var editingInteractionConfiguration: UIEditingInteractionConfiguration {
return .none
}
This property exists on UIResponder
, which means you can override it at a number of other levels if you prefer.
