    Hi, I'm working on a project that uses TMP a lot.

    When I drag some characters on TMP_Text/InputField, I want to change the selection color like this example at the same time.

    Can I do this on TMP?
    Also I don't want to insert any rich text tag to implement this function, because I've already use <mark> tag to highlight what I dragged.

    How about using the "selection color" setting? Although your comment about <mark> tag slightly confuses me. Are you using TMP Input field the the basic way or are you building some custom text control on top of TMP?

    As your advice, if I use the InputField setting I can do what I want!

    Yess, what I am doing is typing letters, selecting a sentence and highlighting the selected sentence. The last one is the reason why I use the <mark> tag.

    Thank you:)
