Selection: isCollapsed property
Baseline Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since March 2017.
The Selection.isCollapsed read-only property returns a
boolean value which indicates whether or not there is currently any text
selected. No text is selected when the selection's start and end points are at the same
position in the content.
Keep in mind that a collapsed selection may still have one (or more, in Gecko)
Ranges, so Selection.rangeCount may not be zero. In that
scenario, calling a Selection object's getRangeAt()
method may return a Range object which is collapsed.
Value
A boolean.
