I'm trying to employ TextFormattingCommands on selected text in a TextEditor.

Showing the commands in the apps menu is working fine, but I can't find an way to apply the format from there on a text selection. I have no idea how to "bind" the commands to the TextEditor and its selected text.

struct AnotherAppMain: Scene {
    var body: some Scene {

        WindowGroup("CommandView", id: "CommandView") {
            CommandView()
        } .commands {
            TextFormattingCommands()
        }
    }
}

struct CommandView: View {
    @State private var text: String = "some text"

    var body: some View {
            TextEditor(text: $text)
            //...

I could neither find any code snippets nor was Apples documentation much of a help.

Thanks a lot for your help Mat

SwiftUI's text editor is very limited. It doesn't support much more than entering large amounts of plain text. If you want rich text editing, you will have to use either NSTextView or UITextView.
