 similar I guess.
 Hi Cheffheid, yup it's similar

 BTW it's a different case because in bookmarklet.js `getSelection()` is
 used to get the selection on the "page" while when it comes to input
 fields and textareas `getSelection()` might not work. Moreover, to my
 understanding the selection won't be "remembered" when blurring the
 textarea, while modern browser should "remember" `selectionStart` and
 `selectionEnd` because they're properties. See you on Slack, would like to
 discuss a bit this with you :)
