# Text selection events and notifications

Nutrient Flutter SDK lets you listen to various events that occur when the end user selects text in a document.

## Text selection events

Nutrient Flutter SDK supports text selection through adding event listeners to the [`NutrientView`](https://pub.dev/documentation/nutrient_flutter/latest/nutrient_flutter/NutrientView-class.html):

- `onTextSelectionChanged` — Called when the text selection is changed with the new selected text. This event is triggered when a user selects text in a document.

To listen to these events, add an event listener to the [`NutrientView`](https://pub.dev/documentation/nutrient_flutter/latest/nutrient_flutter/NutrientView-class.html):

```dart

nutrientViewController.addEventListener(NutrientEvent.textSelection, (event) {
  print('Text selection changed: $event');
});

```

For more advanced use cases, consider exploring the Nutrient native and web SDKs for customization. Refer to the [Nutrient Flutter SDK customization](https://www.nutrient.io/guides/flutter/customize.md) guide and the following documentation links for more information:
