Since document.execCommand is deprecated, what is the plan for future releases?

As you probably know that document.execCommand method has been deprecated and is not recommended for use in modern web development (See MDN, Stackoverflow Thread.

What is your plan for replacement of this function? Do you have any current recommendations for inlinetool developments?

Hello @FarooqAlaulddin

execCommand is deprecated for quite a while, however there is still no suitable alternative. The same results might be achieved using Range API and Input Events Level 2 API. However, Range API implementation differs from browser to browser, and Input Events are not widely supported yet.

In the future we would like to have some robust interface provided by Editor.js API for inline tools, however that is really challenging problem as it requires to disabled default browser behaviour and fully simulate it with more modern APIs. So as for now, execCommand is a way to go
