Support for "Text Selection" Trigger inside Text Area Component
Vadym P
Currently, ProtoPie does not support detecting text selection within a Text Area component.
It would be extremely useful to have a native trigger or event such as "On Text Selection", which would fire when a user selects text inside a Text Area.
This would enable more advanced prototyping scenarios, such as:
Showing contextual menus when text is selected (e.g., Copy, Paste, Highlight options)
Triggering specific interactions based on text selection
Simulating realistic text-editing behaviors found in production apps
Why it's important:
Modern apps heavily rely on text selection actions for UX/UI flows, especially in editors, communication apps, and note-taking apps. Adding this trigger would significantly expand ProtoPie's ability to simulate real-world interactions without complex workarounds.
Optional Ideas:
Expose selected text value as a variable
Expose selection start and end positions for deeper control
