Declaration
@MainActor class UIMenuControllerOverview
The singleton UIMenuController instance is referred to as the editing menu. When you make this menu visible, UIMenuController positions it relative to a target rectangle on the screen; this rectangle usually defines a selection. The menu appears above the target rectangle or, if there isn’t enough space for it, below it. The menu’s pointer is placed at the center of the top or bottom of the target rectangle, as appropriate. Be sure to set the tracking rectangle before you make the menu visible. You’re also responsible for detecting, tracking, and displaying selections.
The UIResponderStandardEditActions informal protocol declares methods that are invoked when the user taps a menu command. The canPerformAction(_:withSender:) method of UIResponder is also related to the editing menu. A responder implements this method to enable and disable commands of the editing menu just before the menu is displayed. You can force the menu commands enabled state to update by calling the update() method.
You can also provide your own menu items via the menuItems property. When you modify the menu items, you can use the update() method to force the menu to update its display.
