Select text in TextField on Double Click in Flutter Windows App

Question

Is there an option to select the text written in TextFormField or TextField on double clicking the field in a Windows App made in Flutter?

Because currently it only works if the text is double clicked, whereas normally in windows application clicking anywhere in the text field selects the entire text written.

Put your TextField inside GestureDetector

GestureDetector(
   onDoubleTap:() {
     if(_controller.text.isNotEmpty) {
       _controller.selection = TextSelection(baseOffset: 0, extentOffset:_controller.text.length);
     }
   },
   child: TextField(controller: _controller, ),
)
