Is this something Flutter doesn't do?

One of the most jarring experiences I have with Flutter Desktop was it lacked MacOS Emacs-style key bindings for text editing (ctrl-a, ctrl-e, etc.). Not sure if Dioxus solved this?

Flutter does do this (at least to some extent) on Desktop/Mobile. It attempts to create a hidden DOM tree for accessibility on web. Which generally doesn't seem to be thought to work very well.

Ah, we're nearly there on that one. We have a PR [0] accepted into Winit (the underlying windowing library we use) which will allow us to access those events. We're just waiting on Winit to do a new release and then we can integrate it into Dioxus.
