Description

It would be nice to be able to select a range of text with the mouse/+keyboard. I think this would be required for copying sections of text when clipboard support is added.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Familiarize yourself with iced's text rendering and input event handling. Look for existing selection logic in the codebase and study how mouse/keyboard events are processed to implement selection ranges.
