Review request for Okular.


Changes
-------

> Until further mouse movement, I keep seeing the crosshair cursor when I'm done making an annotation in non-continuous mode or after closing the annotation toolbar (F6).
Done.

> PageViewAnnotator::active() seems very similar to PageViewAnnotator::routeEvents(). Maybe we can just rename s/routeEvents/active/ ?
Done.

> I think we should not show the crosshair cursor when the mouse is *not* on a page (because you can't draw annotations there)
Disagreed. I think switching the cursor while the user is still on the toolbar instantly shows that the tool has now been selected and is ready to use. Maybe it's just me but I like that.
Also, as Albert pointed out, some annotations can be ended in the space between pages.


Description
-------

The open hand cursor is imho very inconvenient for inconvenient for most types of annotations. Especially ink annotations are much more useful with that added bit of control (the open hand cursor covers the virtual "pen tip").

The patch itself feels a bit contrived. Please let me know if there is a better way to do this given Okulars architecture.


Diffs (updated)
-----

  ui/pageview.cpp e8d481d 
  ui/pageviewannotator.h 850d887 
  ui/pageviewannotator.cpp 4615d1c

Testing
-------

Tested successfully: Tool selection, deselection, continuous mode.


Thanks,

Peter Grasch
