discretionary hyphens and cursor movement in text question

Question

When I add discretionary hyphens towords and then use the cursor keys to navigate, it moves over the discretionary hyphens as individual characters. Is this correct? To skip these do I need to write a keyboard handler to deal with it or is this a bug?

That's the way it works - TLF doesn't really know how the DH was placed and enables editing of them without special handling. Users can insert a DH with ctrl-shift-hyphen.

If you want custom handling you'll have to devise a method - they keyboard handler can work - its a lot simpler if you are only working with horizontal LTR text. The keys are interpreted in the physical direction for RTL and vertical text.

Thanks for the help. I will add a Keyboard listener to handle what I need.
