   Line Edit controls don't have support for selection. So it's not just a Maps thing.

   Renamed the issue. The work needed would be:

   • LineEditRecord replace caret_pos with sel_start and sel_end
   • When sel_start == sel_end then show a blinking caret as today
   • Otherwise, draw the selected range in inverse.
   • Keyboard
     • Left/Right Arrow - if selection, collapse selection to start/end
     • OA/SA + Left/Right Arrow - if selection, collapse selection and move caret to start/end of string
     • Shift + Left/Right Arrow - move start/end of selection one character
     • OA/SA + Shift + Left/Right Arrow - move start/end of selection to start/end of string
     • Backspace, Ctrl+F, Ctrl+X - if selection, delete selection
     • Printable - if selection, replace selection / insert character
     • Potentially OA+X / OA+C / OA+V for cut/copy/paste to a clipboard
   • Mouse
     • Double-click - select all
     • Mouse drag - select dragged range
     • Mouse click - collapse selection, place caret
   • API
     • Option when initializing to select all or just caret
