How to get a selected text?
See original GitHub issueIf I have next text in the editor
Example text here
Another paragraph
And when I select word text and print to console state.focusText.text - I got whole Example text here sentence. Bu I wan to get text word instead. I tried bunch of methods - but no one seems to work.
I guess I can get selected work by using state.startOffset and state.endOffset properties ( or state.focusKey) - but I don’t know how.
Slate should have some convenient method for this case. Am I right?
