SUMMARY
While I'm sure this feature is great for touchscreen users, as a heavy keyboard
user I find myself triggering selection mode exclusively by accident. The thing
is, why would I ever want to use selection mode if I'm not limited to touch
controls? On a keyboard it's more or less worthless and even with a mouse,
ctrl/shift + left click and right click for actions works fine.

Some possible solutions come to mind.
A. Add an option to fully disable selection mode.
B. Do not trigger selection mode with keyboard. It could still be triggered
with mouse or touch.
C. Put selection mode on some shortcut that won't be constantly hit by
accident.
