title: Make text unselectable and uncopyable (webkit, while surrounded by copyable text)
body: <p>The following snippet shows how to make text unselectable. Sadly, if you select text on either side in Chrome, when you copy and paste the unselected text also gets pasted.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any way to have a lot of writing, with unselectable content throughout, that you can copy and paste and none of the unselectable content is pasted?</p>
  
  <p><div class="snippet" data-lang="js" data-hide="false">
  <div class="snippet-code">
  <pre class="snippet-code-css lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>.hide {
    color: orange;
    -webkit-touch-callout: none;
    -webkit-user-select: none;
    -khtml-user-select: none;
    -moz-user-select: none;
    -ms-user-select: none;
    user-select: none;
  }</code></pre>
  <pre class="snippet-code-html lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;div&gt;Hello this text is selectable &lt;span class="hide"&gt;but I'm not&lt;/span&gt; You can select me all day!&lt;/div&gt;</code></pre>
  </div>
  </div>
  </p>

  <p><strong>edit:</strong> This question does seem like a possible duplicate, seeing there are something like 12 questions already on this topic. However, I couldn't find my particular problem after extensive searching, so I thought it merits it's own question with a more particular question title.</p>
