Text Selection everywhere

[enkvadrat]

Summary

There is no way for the user to select any text in the UI.

Motivation

A user (including me) expect text to be select-able.

Proposed API

Text should be select-able by default. There could potentially be a builder like method
to disable the ability (I mostly dislike UI that does that though)

Behavior

Should follow standard selection behavior, like in the browser. Like click and drag,
being able to copy text with ctrl-c. Double clicking on a word to select it, and triple clicking to select paragraph etc.

Dragging is for scrolling. Personally I find drag scrolling quite nice. If you want to let the user copy some text you can add a button that copies that text, although I can see the functionality in the ability to be able to select text, I don't think it's a good cross-platform default, nobody wants to double-click their button for it to select the text or drag their card for it to select its text. Double clicking also often means rename. You are talking on some interesting pain points tho.

On
https://plyx.iz.rs/ all text in the demo should be selectable for it to match my expectation of an app on the web.
Also on the web you should probably not scroll when you drag on the page? Is the web target only intended to be used for the docs or can it also be used to create apps?

@enkvadrat The web target works everywhere just plyx web. I'm really trying to figure something out right now, but there are a bunch of problems and discrepancies. This is a really hard thing to do cross-platform, maybe even impossible.

I just discovered the clipboard isn't even implemented in macroquad on iOS.

impl crate::native::Clipboard for IosClipboard {
    fn get(&mut self) -> Option<String> {
        None
    }
    fn set(&mut self, _data: &str) {}
}
