| | Like the opposites of GetSelectionStartColumn, GetSelectionEndColumn, GetSelectionStartLine, and GetSelectionEndLine. Instead of reporting what is highlighted, they would control what is highlighted. |

| | Why would you want to do this? If I am sitting at my keyboard I don't expect text to suddenly be selected while I am gazing out the window at the unicorns. |

It would be based on actual user interaction in a way that makes sense.
I've written a splitscreen scrollback plugin that shows the most recent text as a native-looking overlay over the bottom section of the output when the player scrolls up, and it allows text highlighting using the same code that I developed over the years for my chat capture miniwindow. If a player highlights some text in the main output and then scrolls up, I can currently propagate their highlight into the miniwindow so that they still see it active, but if they highlight something in the miniwindow I have no way to propagate that back to the main output (both for access to native Ctrl+C copying and also so that the highlight is still there when they scroll all the way to the bottom and the overlay goes away).
Here's a video showing what it currently looks like: https://gofile.io/?c=WQ2JJ1 |
