Feature description

Hello.

Thank you for the great app.

I have a small feature request regarding the query icon that appears when selecting text. Currently, it shows at the bottom-right of the selection (under the cursor).

Would it be possible to add an option in the settings to customize the icon position (for example, bottom-left instead of bottom-right)?

Regards,
Alex

Use case

When selecting text, the query icon appears at the bottom-right of the cursor.

In my workflow, I often move the cursor toward the bottom-right after selecting text. Because of this, I frequently and unintentionally hover over the query icon, which can trigger it accidentally or get in the way of normal cursor movement.

This leads to unnecessary interruptions and reduces efficiency during reading or editing.

Providing an option to change the icon position (for example, to bottom-left) would help avoid this issue by keeping the icon away from the typical cursor path after selection.

Proposed solution (optional)
