Examples
Disabling text selection
Use the select-none
utility to prevent selecting text in an element and its children:
html
<div class="select-none ...">
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
</div>
Allowing text selection
Use the select-text
utility to allow selecting text in an element and its children:
html
<div class="select-text ...">
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
</div>
Selecting all text in one click
Use the select-all
utility to automatically select all the text in an element when a user clicks:
html
<div class="select-all ...">
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
</div>
Using auto select behavior
Use the select-auto
utility to use the default browser behavior for selecting text:
html
<div class="select-auto ...">
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
</div>
Responsive design
Prefix a user-select
utility with a breakpoint variant like md:
to only apply the utility at medium screen sizes and above:
html
<div class="select-none md:select-all ...">
<!-- ... -->
</div>
