It's amazing how much work it takes to support something that you probably shouldn't do.

But — the FormKit floating labels plugin now supports arbitrary prefix content as of 1.5.4:

That's cool!

Only thing I don't like about this is it blocks the click-anywhere-to-focus behavior that you usually get with <label>s (unless that's the intended effect).

Shouldn’t be! There’s “prefix” content in some of these inputs but they are not labels.

That’s a really good point — and users could easily do that with some handlers. But we can’t make it the default because sometimes you need actions on the prefix content that don’t focus the input so then you’d have to fight against FormKit.

I'd much prefer to be able to click anywhere within the box to be honest, including through the prefix content.
