selectWordsInRange abstract method

void selectWordsInRange({
  1. required Offset from,
  2. Offset? to,
  3. required 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.

Implementation

void selectWordsInRange({
  required Offset from,
  Offset? to,
  required SelectionChangedCause cause,
});
