Please add drag selected text in richtext field. And add mode drag with down button Ctrl for copy selected text.

Your request it's not possible because the RichEditBox control that Notepads uses doesn't support such feature. Why? No idea, but you're better off asking for that in the Microsoft Xaml UI repo.

The site says WinUI 3 0.5 Preview. That this is the first stable version from the pre-release versions. @XamDR Do you think it is possible to already use this version in Notepads? especially since only a small number of elements are used for Notepad. The second case. At the moment, Notepads is already a stable and moderately working program. All new Notepads issues are related to the WinUI library. Which suggests that you can already start using the new WinUI 3 0.5 because our task is to solve the problems of WinUI 2. And the version that is built on WinUI is already stable and functional to the best of its limitations.

That is, within the framework of WinUI2, we already have nothing to solve, we will not be able to do anything new that needs to be done.

No it isn't possible to use WinUI 3 in Notepads, WinUI 3 at its current state lacks major functionality like acrylic and reveal which Notepads uses. Besides that Notepads uses WCT which isn't available in WinUI 3 for Notepads.

Notepads doesn't use WinUI 2 yet as it introduces some new bugs. As for WinUI 3 removing limitations of WinUI 2, that simply isn't true. WinUI 3 at its current state lacks many major functionality and also rigged with same limitations and bugs as WinUI 2. My guess is it would likely take MS 3 or 4 years to provide everything WinUI 2 offers and get rid of all its bugs and limitations.
