Description

When there is no text selected, the extension could select a default text based on the current domain and a given XPath set in the extension. For instance on http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26465962, the news text could be selected automatically. And on Wikipedia, the article text.

Research direction

Start by examining the extension's current text-selection handling and how domain-specific settings or XPath values are represented. Reproduce the no-selection behavior on the BBC and Wikipedia examples, then define completion as selecting the configured article text automatically for supported domains without overriding an existing selection.
