Graphite Selection direction difference

The selection direction should make a difference. Usually in apps like these if you start a selection frame by dragging the mouse to the right it should only select objects that are fully inside of the selection frame. If the user drags to the left everything that is touched by the selection frame should be selected.

I've always disliked that UX choice in the applications that do that, but it would probably make sense to have an [Touched / Contained / By Drag Direction] choice in the application's preferences because it's intuitive for some people and we'd like to support those users.

Hello, I have created a PR for Left based section for now. Can you please review it?

@runxel this is now implemented. Thanks for the feature request. It can be enabled from File > Preferences:

It's live at https://dev.graphite.rs and will be deployed at https://editor.graphite.rs when we do the next release at some point in the near future.
