Frequently Asked Questions
When should I disable text selection?
On UI elements where double-clicks might accidentally select text: buttons, navigation, drag handles. Don't disable on content users might want to copy.
What does user-select: all do?
Clicking the element selects all its text at once—useful for code snippets, tokens, or anywhere users typically want to copy the entire content.
Is disabling selection accessible?
Disabling selection can hurt accessibility—screen reader users and others may need to select text. Only disable on truly interactive, non-content elements.
