Hi, thank you for the report, can you try the dev version on pub.dev or in the GitHub dev branch to confirm if this issue exists?

Hi @freshtechtips
Just tested the dev version, it's the same, no "select" button
p.s. there is a mistake in ios info.plist, the NSMicrophoneUsageDescription key is not closed properly
screenshoot :
from left to right : "Cut" "Copy" "Paste" "Select All"

Thank you.

Thanks, I will check it, but tell me
What exactly do you want to select?? We didn't implement the select button and don't know what is that

Is it specific to iOS?

I think it's not specific to iOS , it's also available on Android, it's a common feature

Do you know what does it selects?

[FlashTang]

Do you know what does it selects?

If you tap select , it selects the "last word"
e.g. "This is a text" the last "text" will be selected
and there will be a "range chooser handle". like the image I posted above

Android example:

I still don't see the Select button in this image

Flutter only supports the following by default:

    required final ClipboardStatus? clipboardStatus,
    required final VoidCallback? onCopy,
    required final VoidCallback? onCut,
    required final VoidCallback? onPaste,
    required final VoidCallback? onSelectAll,
    required final VoidCallback? onLookUp,
    required final VoidCallback? onSearchWeb,
    required final VoidCallback? onShare,
    required final VoidCallback? onLiveTextInput,

Yes we can add more but that's the default editable text button items(ContextMenuButtonItem)

Indeed, flutter has no "select" button, but it has "range selector" (two draggable dots) where flutter quill doesn't have

Can you send me an app that I can try on my own?? Is there any app on store or GitHub repo

Because I still can't see the button select

Hi, I just checked it and it seems it closed properly.

Yes , flutter has no select button (even Android native) , but you can adjust the range after text is selected

But seems flutter quill can't

[shorben07]

Range selector shows up if double tap on the word
