# selectedTextRange

A range that represents the selected text.

## Declaration

```swift
@NSCopying var selectedTextRange: UITextRange? { get set }
```

## Mentioned in

Integrating custom browser text views with UIKit

## Discussion

Discussion Text might have a selection with a zero length (just the caret) or a range. Editing operations always apply to the selection text. A nil value corresponds to no selection.
