BTW while we're on a general redesign, we should do * { user-select: none } - in desktop app contexts, text is never selectable, with only targeted exceptions for content!

A big part of why desktop apps feel like desktop apps is they take the distinction between interface and content very seriously, and 99% of an app is interface – handed down to you as-is according to God's the developer's vision. Whereas in web everything is kind of malleable and selectable and eh by default due to HTML being just markup for documents initially
