Comment (by ryan):

 A big aggravation for me on touch devices is how the Cut|Copy|Paste menu
 obscures the editor toolbar and the link controls when trying to create
 links on the first couple lines of text. I enthusiastically support
 improving that experience.

 Notes on the patch, as tested on an iPhone 6+:

 * The link modal doesn't always open. The link button often noops.
 * The toolbar follows you as you drag to select. It manages to stay out of
 the way but could end up feeling like drag baggage. I need to use it more
 to see how nicely it plays in my flow. It could clutter already awkward
 iOS selection.
