Selecting text with mouse cursor

[Noyabronok]

How do I select text on the screen with the mouse? I've tried various const result = await user.pointer(...) actions as described here but the result is always undefined.

Ok, figured it out. These unit tests provide good examples.

// highlight 5 characters from beginning of text element
await user.pointer(
[
  // left click and hold at char 0
  { target: textElement, offset: 0, keys: '[MouseLeft>]' }, 
  // drag the mouse to the right 5 characters
  { offset: 5 },
  // release the left mouse button
  { keys: '[/MouseLeft]' }
]);

// get the selected text
const selection = document.getSelection()?.toString();
// assert the selection
expect(selection).toBe('12345');
