Right now, I can't select text that starts at column 0 in the terminal because the drawer that slides out from the left takes precedence. That drawer should be disabled when selecting.

It would also be nice if there was some way of confirming/correcting the selection, since it's difficult to tell which tiny character my finger is about to touch.

The simplest hack would be a little pop-up that says "is this selection correct?", and if not, the user is put back into selection mode.
