# selection

A proxy object representing the receiver’s selection.

## Declaration

```swift
var selection: Any { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This object is fully key-value coding compliant, but note that it is a proxy and so does not provide the full range of functionality that might be available in the source object.
