I tried using SwiftUI's new support for rich text in TextEditor. It's nowhere near a replacement for NSTextView on Mac.

You have to open the ruler from the Format menu to show rich text formatting controls. The controls are limited compared to NSTextView's inspector.

The worst issue is sidebars block the left side of the formatting controls. You have to hide the sidebar to apply a paragraph style to your text.

Most articles on showing sheets in SwiftUI apps show an example of a button with a .sheet modifier that shows the sheet. But if you try to apply the example to a menu in a Mac app, the sheet won’t show.

To get the sheet to show, you must add a focused value for showing the sheet and set the focused scene value in your main view.

Code and more details are in the following article:
