Situation:
- I am working in Swift 5.
- I have an instance of an NSTextView. (Call it "V")
- The value has already been set once. (Call this value "T1")
- V is showing T1.
- I have an NSAttributedString from another source. (Call this value
"T2")
Desired goal:
- I want to se
Did you tell V that it needs to re-load it’s display? There is a method on
NSView (from which NSTextView is derived) called “needsDisplay(sic)” which sets
a flag on the view so that the view will re-draw its content the next display
cycle. So, after you set the content to T2, you need to call
> - I want to set the displayed contents of V to T2.

> What is/are the recommended way/s to do this?

The documentation suggests you should be working with the view’s textStorag
Looking at the documentation for NSTextView, it is highly recommended that you
manipulate the NSTextStorage associated with the view. NSTextStorage is a
sub-class of NSMutableAttributedtString, so you have all of those capabilities
as well.
I’m just getting into this as well for my console app
