selectWordsInRange abstract method

void selectWordsInRange(
  1. Offset from,
  2. Offset to,
  3. SelectionChangedCause cause
)

Selects the set words of a paragraph in a given range of global positions.

The first and last endpoints of the selection will always be at the beginning and end of a word respectively.

This method is mainly used to translate user inputs in global positions into a TextSelection. When used in conjunction with a EditableText, the selection change is fed back into TextEditingController.selection.

If you have a TextEditingController, it's generally easier to programmatically manipulate its value or selection directly.
