provideSelectionRanges is not invoked when user select a token by double clicking on it

I need to override something related to token selection and i encounter provideSelectionRanges.

provideSelectionRanges is not invoked when we select a token by double clicking on it.

Please see the code snippet below

`

monaco.languages.register({ id: 'mySpecialLanguage' });

monaco.languages.registerSelectionRangeProvider('mySpecialLanguage', {
    provideSelectionRanges: function (model, positions, token) {
    
            console.log('i am provideSelectionRanges');
            const position = positions[0];
            const word = model.getWordAtPosition(position);
    
            console.log('selection range provider word is: ', word);
            return null
   }
});

monaco.editor.create(document.getElementById("container"), {
    value: '\n\nHover over this text',
    language: 'mySpecialLanguage'
});

` What am i doing wrong or is there any another provider which will help me override things related to token selections.

@abhishekthakurak You can listen to selection changes and then change the editor’s selection to be something else using editor.setSelection. This method is documented at https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/api/index.html and is available in the editor’s .d.ts files.
