[4/5] The end result of being able to select and move feels very intuitive, but the resulting code is a mess! It's super difficult to build flexible abstractions that can represent these subtle state dependencies effectively.

[3/5] We also need to defer certain actions, for example, like delaying showing the "stack select" menu until we know if the user intends to move or not.
