selection event should trigger when the element changes node type

[oodavid]

What happens?
I expect the selection event to be triggered when the focussed element changes type. It doesn't

How can others reproduce the issue?

1. Add a selection listener to the document
2. Analyse the focussed node (ie: paragraph)
3. Change the node-type (ie: heading) editor.chain().focus().toggleHeading({ level: 1 }).run()
4. The selection event does not fire, even though we've now focussed a different element

const onSelection = () => {
    var resolvedPos = editor.state.selection.$head;
    console.log(resolvedPos.node(resolvedPos.depth).type.name);
}
editor.on('selection', onSelection);

What behavior did you expect?
Since the node changes, I expected the selection event to trigger.

Do you have a screenshot?

What’s your environment?

• MacOS
• Chrome
• Mobile

What else?
I can use the update event instead, but that feels like overkill for my requirement.

Thanks, but that’s still the same selection, so I won’t expect the event to be triggered. As you said, you'd probably use the onUpdate event to listen for updates. ✌️

True... ish?

IMO - the selection has changed in that editor.state.selection is different, especially WRT $head.

If I tap an arrow key to move my cursor, the event fires, which makes sense since the resolvedPos changes. I think the same is true here.

I guess this is an upstream issue anyhow...
