# Selection

```javascript
import { Selection } from 'slate'
```

The user's current selection in a Slate [`Document`](https://docs.slatejs.org/v0.47/slate-core/document). Selections implement the [`Range`](https://docs.slatejs.org/v0.47/slate-core/range) interface, but also expose data about the current "focus" and the cursor current marks.

## Properties

```javascript
Selection({
  anchor: Point,
  focus: Point,
  isFocused: Boolean,
  marks: Set,
})
```

### `isFocused`

`Boolean`

Whether the range currently has focus.

### `marks`

`Set`

A set of marks associated with the range.

### `object`

`String`

A string with a value of `'selection'`.

## Computed Properties

### `isBlurred`
