            Bug ID: 416385
           Summary: Smart hand selection tool
           Product: okular
           Version: 19.12.1
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: New backend wishes
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
I guess Okular would be the prefer document viewer for Linux and even for other
OSes. Also there is one thing in my mind which could help. PDF viewers like
Adobe Reader and Foxit Reader has the ability of smart selection mode in which
the cursor is like a hand. In general it is a hand and by pressing any button
it grabs the document and moves it around. On the lines of text it becomes like
a text selection tool and on images the cursor would act as image extraction
tool by which pressing the left button grabs the image and dumps it on desiered
place and right key brings a menu (like Evince). 

OBSERVED RESULT
The current cursor is not wise enough. User must change the behavior of cursor
and it's hard in full screen mode.

EXPECTED RESULT
A wise hand selection mode which can change in multiple places would be a great
benefit to the user.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
General
