### Get Selected Text using Auto Strategy

Source: https://github.com/tisfeng/selectedtextkit/blob/main/README.md

Use the shared SelectedTextManager instance to retrieve selected text with the recommended auto strategy, which intelligently falls back through multiple methods.

```swift
import SelectedTextKit

private let textManager = SelectedTextManager.shared

func example() async {
    do {
        // Option 1: Use auto strategy (recommended for most cases)
        if let selectedText = try await textManager.getSelectedText(strategy: .auto) {
            print("Selected text: \(selectedText)")
        }

        // Option 2: Use custom strategy array with ordered fallbacks
        let strategies: [TextStrategy] = [.accessibility, .menuAction, .shortcut]
        if let text = try await textManager.getSelectedText(strategies: strategies) {
            print("Text from custom strategies: \(text)")
        }

        // Option 3: Use specific strategies for browsers (order matters)
        let browserStrategies: [TextStrategy] = [.appleScript, .accessibility]
        if let text = try await textManager.getSelectedText(strategies: browserStrategies) {
            print("Text from browser: \(text)")
        }

        // Option 4: Use individual strategy methods
        if let text = try await textManager.getSelectedText(strategy: .menuAction) {
            print("Text from menu copy: \(text)")
        }

        // Option 5: Use shortcut strategy with muted volume
        if let text = try await textManager.getSelectedText(strategy: .shortcut) {
            print("Text from shortcut copy: \(text)")
        }

    } catch {
        print("Error: \(error)")
    }
}
```

### Define Available Text Strategies

Source: https://github.com/tisfeng/selectedtextkit/blob/main/README.md

Enumerate all available text retrieval strategies and demonstrate how to create ordered arrays for custom fallback sequences.

```swift
// All available strategies
public enum TextStrategy {
    case auto          // Intelligent fallback (accessibility → menu action)
    case accessibility // Get text via Accessibility API
    case appleScript   // Get text from browsers via AppleScript
    case menuAction    // Get text via menu bar copy action
    case shortcut      // Get text via Cmd+C (with muted volume)
}

// Create ordered strategy arrays (execution order matters!)
let browserStrategies: [TextStrategy] = [.appleScript, .accessibility, .menuAction, .shortcut]
let fallbackStrategies: [TextStrategy] = [.accessibility, .menuAction, .shortcut]
```

--------------------------------

### Available Text Strategies

Source: https://github.com/tisfeng/selectedtextkit/blob/main/README.md

Lists and describes all available text retrieval strategies that can be used with the `getSelectedText` methods. Each strategy offers a different approach to accessing selected text.

```APIDOC
## Available Strategies

### Description
Defines the different methods available for retrieving selected text.

### Enum Definition
```swift
public enum TextStrategy {
    case auto          // Intelligent fallback (accessibility → menu action)
    case accessibility // Get text via Accessibility API
    case appleScript   // Get text from browsers via AppleScript
    case menuAction    // Get text via menu bar copy action
    case shortcut      // Get text via Cmd+C (with muted volume)
}
```

### Strategy Details

| Strategy | Description | Best For |
|----------|-------------|----------|
| `.auto` | Smart fallback (accessibility → menu action) | **Recommended** - Most reliable |
| `.accessibility` | Direct Accessibility API | Fast, lightweight access |
| `.appleScript` | Browser automation via AppleScript | Safari, Chrome, Firefox |
| `.menuAction` | System menu bar copy action | When accessibility is limited |
| `.shortcut` | Cmd+C with muted system volume | Universal compatibility |
```

### Add SelectedTextKit to Package.swift

Source: https://github.com/tisfeng/selectedtextkit/blob/main/README.md

Add the SelectedTextKit Swift Package Manager dependency to your project's Package.swift file.

```swift
dependencies: [
    .package(url: "https://github.com/tisfeng/SelectedTextKit.git", from: "2.0.0")
]
```

--------------------------------

### getSelectedText(strategies: [TextStrategy])

Source: https://github.com/tisfeng/selectedtextkit/blob/main/README.md

Retrieves selected text by attempting a series of specified strategies in order. This is useful for creating custom fallback sequences tailored to specific application types or scenarios.

```APIDOC
## getSelectedText(strategies: [TextStrategy])

### Description
Get text using multiple strategies with ordered fallback.

### Method Signature
`func getSelectedText(strategies: [TextStrategy]) async throws -> String?`

### Parameters
#### Path Parameters
None

#### Query Parameters
None

#### Request Body
None

### Parameters
- **strategies** (`[TextStrategy]`) - Required - An array of `TextStrategy` enums defining the order in which to attempt text retrieval. The first strategy that successfully retrieves text will be used.
```

--------------------------------

### getSelectedText(strategy: TextStrategy)

Source: https://github.com/tisfeng/selectedtextkit/blob/main/README.md

Retrieves selected text from the active application using a specific, predefined strategy. This method is suitable when you want to enforce a particular method of text retrieval.

```APIDOC
## getSelectedText(strategy: TextStrategy)

### Description
Get text using a specific strategy.

### Method Signature
`func getSelectedText(strategy: TextStrategy) async throws -> String?`

### Parameters
#### Path Parameters
None

#### Query Parameters
None

#### Request Body
None

### Parameters
- **strategy** (`TextStrategy`) - Required - The specific strategy to use for retrieving text. Available options include `.auto`, `.accessibility`, `.appleScript`, `.menuAction`, and `.shortcut`.
