SelectionArea

SelectionArea makes static text in one content subtree selectable.

Select static text

SelectionArea(
    Column {
      Text("Release notes", TextRole::Title),
      Text(release_notes),
      Text(build_identifier, TextRole::Label),
    }.With(Spacing(8.0F))
)

The shared runtime owns selection ranges, pointer or touch gestures, handles, and the HuxerUI-drawn copy menu. Platform clipboard services perform the final copy operation.

SelectionArea is for static Text content. TextField already owns editable selection and must not rely on a surrounding selection area for its editing behavior.

Clipboard and semantics

The selected text remains represented by descendant text semantics rather than a new application state value. Add application-specific semantics to the content only when its visible text does not communicate enough context.

API

• Constructor: explicit SelectionArea(View content).
