insertText support？

[tsl1127]

Is there support for insertText(or whatever) in currentBlock?

At this moment there is only support for updateBlock to update an entire block. You can use it to change the text in the content field of a block.

I think inserting text at a particular point is a valid request, especially because it will work better with multi-user collaboration

1、thanks for reply
2、Not only in terms of multi-user collaboration, but also from a code perspective, automatically inserting text can be quite useful. For example, when a block's content consists of multiple texts, if the cursor is placed within a particular text, applying the style of that text and automatically adding more text (through code) can be achieved.
3、Will this be added to the roadmap in the future?

@tsl1127 Yes, we definitely want to add this to BlockNote. Thanks for extra details in (2)

Also in need of this feature! 💯 At the moment, with updateBlock it seems easy enough to insertText on the start or end of the current block, but not that straightforward to implement when your cursor is in the middle of the text and the text should be inserted on that position since I don't think the index of the cursor within the current text content is returned somewhere (or I missed that).

Also already thanks for the great work done on the project so far 🙌
