# textInput(_:deferReplaceTextActionToSystem:)

Defers a replace text action to the ssytem.

```
func textInput(_ textInput: any BETextInput, deferReplaceTextActionToSystem sender: Any)
```

## Discussion

When handling the replace: action, use this method to defer the replacement to the system.

For example, a replacement could be deferred after it is selected from the autocorrect replacements list.
