Description

Not sure about this, but maybe there's a way hide the native selection on mobile, except for the anchor/focus handles (we need those so users can extend/shrink an existing node selection).

@johannesmutter do you think this

A) is possible
B) makes sense (to not show the native selection artifacts for a cleaner display, or will this feel even more weird to have the focus/anchor handles flying around)
