How can I get selected text in Ace editor?

Question

I look into docs and also pick at the source code and I dind't find anything, all I see is selection and range objects, and methods that manipulate ranges.

Answer 1

It's better to use editor.getSelectedText() instead.

Answer 2

Found in Ace editor source code:

editor.getSession().doc.getTextRange(editor.selection.getRange());
