In certain programs you can use mouse gestures to do various tasks, for example:

• tmux lets you resize panes with click and drag.
• weechat has swipe left and right gestures to switch buffer.

This works when connecting to termux via SSH from a computer with mouse but it does not work when using the termux app.
I realize that this would cause a conflict with the swipe to scroll feature, but maybe we can come up with a solution that can incorporate both these features.
Some ways I came up with:

• Move the long press menu into the left side drawer and have long press function as a click and drag.
• Have a switch (or one time function like select) in the long press menu to switch between click and drag and scroll. In the two programs I came across with mouse dragging it is not something you have to do all the time, so having an additional step between might not be that bad.

Maybe someone has a better idea?
