Using selectedText to capture the a selected text in a document without truncating it #15

Open anonys opened 3 weeks ago

is there a way to surpass the limitation of selectedText() when the text selection is beyond 2 lines.

Hi @anonys

Apple's APIs are really restricted when it comes to accessing text from the proxy.

I guess the full document reader capability is not what you're after, but only the selected text?

Hey @danielsaidi Yes correct, I am using full document reader when I want to access the whole text but in certain situations I need to get the selected text only - and sometimes it's beyond 2 lines.

If the range information can be used, it should be possible, but I'm sure it requires the same kind of underlying operations as the full document reader. I'll keep this open.
