# SelectTextAtMouseCursor

Initiates selection of text at the current mouse cursor position.
The mode argument can be one of `Cell`, `Word` or `Line` to control
the scope of the selection.

The mode argument can be `SemanticZone` which causes the selection
to take the surrounding semantic zone.

In this example, the triple-left-click mouse action is set to
automatically select the entire command output when clicking
on any character withing that region:

```lua
local wezterm = require 'wezterm'

return {
  mouse_bindings = {
    {
      event = { Down = { streak = 3, button = 'Left' } },
      action = wezterm.action.SelectTextAtMouseCursor 'SemanticZone',
      mods = 'NONE',
    },
  },
}
```

[See Shell Integration docs](../../../shell-integration.md) for more details on
how to set up your shell to define semantic zones.

The mode argument can also be `"Block"` to enable a rectangular block selection.
