Selectable

• Selectable is an option for notebooks that determines if the contents of a notebook can be selected using the mouse or keyboard commands.

• Selection means highlighting something in the notebook window using the mouse or keyboard commands, or placing an insertion point in text or between cells.
• Selectable only affects the selection of the contents of a window. The notebook can still be selected by clicking its title bar. The related option, WindowClickSelect, affects selection of the window as a whole.
• The default setting is Selectable Rule True.
• With the setting Selectable Rule False, text and cells within a notebook cannot be selected.
• If Selectable Rule False for a button, the button will not work even if it has Active Rule True.
• See also: WindowClickSelect.
