Enable text selection for non-editable text
To enable text selection for SwiftUI Text
views we can use textSelection() modifier and set it to enabled.
This modifier can be set on each Text
view individually or on a hierarchy of views to enable text selection for all Text
in the hierarchy.
// Contents of the Text view
// will be selectable
Text("Hello World!")
.textSelection(.enabled)
// Contents of each Text view
// will be selectable individually
VStack {
Text("Text 1")
Text("Text 2")
}
.textSelection(.enabled)
Even when we set .textSelection(.enabled)
on a hierarchy of views, each Text
view will still be individually selectable. There is no way to select contents of multiple Text
views at the same time.
