Microsoft-ui-xaml: Proposal: (Rich)TextBlock should support triple-click to select complete text/paragraph
Proposal: (Rich)TextBlock should support triple-click to select complete text/paragraph
Summary
(Rich)TextBlocks with text selection enabled (via IsTextSelectionEnabled) should have support for the user to triple-click to select the complete text/paragraph. Currently, only single words can be selected with clicks, no matter how many clicks are "chained" by the user.
Sample app demonstrating current behavior included below.
Rationale
The (Rich)TextBlock control should provide a text selection experience matching that found on the web and in the UWP TextBox control (for example) and thus expected by users.
Scope
| Capability | Priority |
| :---------- | :------- |
| (Rich)TextBlock has triple-click support to select the complete text/paragraph. | Must |
