public class TextView extends javafx.scene.control.Control
A text view that allows you to display multiline text and supports the selection of text, which can then be copied to the clipboard. The user can copy the selected text via the OS-specific shortcut for copying content (for example, CTRL-C on Windows or Command-C on Mac). Additionally, a context menu is available for copying.

The user can select text by pressing and dragging the mouse, or by double clicking on a word. A triple click selects an entire paragraph.
