            Bug ID: 427457
           Summary: Feature Request for Musicians on touchscreen devices.
                    Can't right-click to exit fullscreen on a touchscreen
                    device.
           Product: okular
           Version: 1.9.3
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux

          Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
This is probably a duplicate, but just providing more reason for the feature. 
There are no good pdf sheet music readers available for Linux.  This is a
common complaint amongst musicians.  Okular is a SUPERB alternative according
to everyone.  There is only one small drawback to using Okular for this.  Most
musicians wanting to use a laptop for sheet music reading (who don't want
windows) are using touchscreen devices, or 2 in 1 devices.  (ipads are too
small for showing 2-pages at once) The device has to fit on a music stand.  And
the problem with touchscreen devices is being able to right click can be
problematic or just not possible / supported.  Where this affects Okular is
when going into full screen mode and then trying to exit fullscreen mode. 
There is no way to exit on a touch screen device because we can't necessarily
right-click.  A HUGE favor to musicians in this situation would be a way to
exit fullscreen without having to right-click.

Thank you for your consideration.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Go into fullscreen mode
2. Try to exit without having a right mouse button
3. Try to exit on a touchscreen

OBSERVED RESULT
Can't exit

EXPECTED RESULT
Want to exit
