* Touch friendly text selection handles
** Custom Sugar design, use user colours for selection handles at each end of text (nothing is provided by gtk3+)
** Custom Sugar design, use user colours for selection handles (or monochrome theme as a fallback) at each end of text (Carlos upstreamed [http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/log/?h=touch-text-selection patches] to gtk3+)

*** Example [http://people.sugarlabs.org/garycmartin/Text_touch_place_selection_design/animation] making text selections via touch
*** Example [http://www.lanedo.com/~carlos/touch-text-selection.webm movie] of Gtk3 patches (not Sugar themed yet) from Carlos.
** Selection palette Cut/Copy/Paste/Speak (Share selection with friend feature?) [http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/File:Cut_Copy_Paste_Speak_palettte_mockup.png example mockup]

*** Text vs. icons vs. text & icons for palette

**** Icon only provides translation neutral palette but provides no textual hints to aid discovery
**** Text and Icon palette may be too large (obscure too much canvas)
** Editable vs. non-editable widget interaction?
** Editable vs. non-editable widget interaction?
** Single tap to insert cursor (snap to end of existing word?)
