Subject: [PATCH] Fix macOS dictation post NSTextInputClient migration in v30
Date: Mon, 21 Jul 2025 13:26:13 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi folks!

We lost macOS dictation in Emacs v30 (see 
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2025-03/msg00585.html) 
with the NSTextInputClient migration.

Looks like we can get it back using the new subsystem by 
implementing the missing bits for 'selectedRange' in 'nsterm.m'.

Not a NSTextInputClient expert here. Would love for other macOS 
users to give the patch a try and confirm they get dictation 
back. Similarly, edit as normal so we can rule out there are no 
additional side effects.

Álvaro
