Customizing

Responsive and State Variants

By default, only responsive variants are generated for user-select utilities.

You can control which variants are generated for the user-select utilities by modifying the userSelect property in the modules section of your Tailwind config file.

For example, this config will also generate hover and focus variants:

{
// ...
modules: {
    // ...
-   userSelect: ['responsive'],
+   userSelect: ['responsive', 'hover', 'focus', 'active', 'group-hover'],
}
}

Disabling

If you don't plan to use the user-select utilities in your project, you can disable them entirely by setting the userSelect property to false in the modules section of your config file:

{
// ...
modules: {
    // ...
-   userSelect: ['responsive'],
+   userSelect: false,
}
}
