''''''''In [[computing]] and [[user interface design|user interface engineering]], a '''selection''' is a list of items on which [[Command (computing)|user operations]] will take place. The user typically adds items to the list manually, although the [[computer]] may create a selection automatically. Selections are enacted through combinations of key presses on a [[Computer keyboard|keyboard]], with a precision [[pointing device]] ([[Mouse (computing)|mouse]] or [[touchpad]] and [[Cursor (computers)|cursor]], [[Stylus (computing)|stylus]]), or by hand on a [[touchscreen]] device. The simultaneous selection of a group of items (either a subset of elements in a list, or discontinuous regions in a text) is called a ''multiple selection''.
[[Context menu]]s will usually include actions related to the objects included in the current selection - the selection provides the "context" for the menu.
