Description of the new feature/enhancement

Allow a pen and by extension I assume touch screen to highlight text to be copied. I've just acquired a surface pro and do not have a mouse/trackpad. I figured my usb keyboard and mouse would be sufficient for what I needed. Unfortunately it did not work as expected.

FWIW, when I used the 'ubuntu' app as part of WSL I could highlight using the pen.
