Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity of LibreCAD when selecting objects?

For small scale drawings (up to 1m) quickly selecting lines to offset works well, but when you draw things on a house/land scale (100's of m) you have to be within 1 pixel to get this to work. You can make this better by zooming in, but then if you are offsetting a line by 6-8m you don't see if it works until you zoom out again as there is no visual feedback that I can see.

This is similarly frustrating for selecting lines and for this reason I find myself always selecting what I want by drawing a select box around items before selecting the action and then jumping past the select step.

So unless I'm doing something wrong ideally I'd like a way to increase the size of the centre of the crosshair such that it gives some visual feedback as to which line/object it is currently snapped/selected.

I've taken a look in the github source and am not adverse to making the code changes needed and submitting a pull request to get this to happen if someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks
