Orion/Documentation/Developer Guide/User interface services

orion.page.selection

The selection service tracks the selection in the current page. A client can use this service to get or set the current

selection, or to register a listener that will be notified of selection changes.

Here is an example of adding a listener to track selection changes:

 serviceRegistry.getService("orion.page.selection").then(function(service) {
   service.addEventListener("selectionChanged", function(fileURI) {
     //do something with the selection
   });
 });

See orion.selection.Selection in the client API reference for a complete list of functions available on the selection service.
