[Okular-devel] Efficient revision tools

[Raffaele Mancuso]

Hi all,

I use okular on a regular-basis and found out that the revision tools are
quite uncomfortable to use. I need to highlight the text of a pdf file
continuously, like when you are studying a book and you need to highlight
the most important thing. The improblem is that i click on the yellow
highlighter tool in the revision toolbar, use the left-mouse button to
highlight the text, and then when i release the button the tool is no more
selected. So to highlight more text I have to go another time in the
revision toolbar and re-select the yellow highlighter tool. This is
frustrating when you need to highlight lot of text (like me).

I propose to not detach the tool when the left mouse button is released.
Instead leave the tool on and let a right mouse button click release the
tool. So you can (for example) select the text continuously without go from
time to time to the revision toolbar.

We can even make this customizable by a check box in the settings wich let
the user decide if we should release the tool at LMB click or at RMB click.

Cheers,
Raffaele
