    <thetext>Analogous to https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=851279 I believe web browsers should implement multiple ranges which does exist on Firefox for many years.

Steps to reproduce:
Select a range of text, try to select another range of text with Ctrl (See https://github.com/yoichio/public-documents/blob/master/multiranges.md also)

Expected:
Like Firefox

Actual:
Multiple text selection doesn&apos;t work.</thetext>

    <thetext>Google is interested on that https://github.com/w3c/selection-api/issues/41#issuecomment-343060585 and Firefox already has it.</thetext>

    <thetext>This requires a major re-architecturing of our editing code. As much as we should do this, I don&apos;t think it&apos;d happen in practice :(</thetext>
