 #### getViewSelectedElement()
 ```typescript
 getViewSelectedElement():ExcalidrawElement

+
+You first need to set the view calling `setView()`.

 If an element is selected in the targetView the function returns the selected element. If multiple elements are selected, either by SHIFT+Clicking to select multiple elements, or by selecting a group, the first of the elements will be selected. If you want to specify which element to select from a group, double click the desired element in the group.
