Hello 👋

It happens with me on mobile lot of times when I want to quote the selection text in OP. When the line starts a _short word_ letter like `I` it’s pretty hard to select it precisely. It most of time jumps out of the cooked area.

I think it would be more than awesome if the selection starting point in the cooked area then it keeps the selection in it.

Thank you 🙂
