Any way to select text content on focus? #19

Open richardchou opened 9 years ago

Hi,

I was wondering how I would set the behavior of the editor to select all of the text content in the editor when you focus by clicking on the text box? This way if there is a default message selected, the user can just type over it to create a new message.

For normal text boxes, it is possible to do this in angular by writing directive that gets the window, then selects the element on click.

Thanks!

This stackoverflow question is pretty much what I want to do: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14995884/select-text-on-input-focus

However instead of generic html text-areas, I would like to apply it to the iframe that the editor is in somehow.
