            Bug ID: 458148
           Summary: Feature Request: "Reading bar" similar to Skim on OSX
           Product: okular
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: qg2ncx+5ov2umjq3v060 at sharklasers.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Okular is almost the perfect universal reader. In my opinion, the only missing
feature is a "reading bar" while viewing documents similar to Skim on OSX.

Its essentially a highlighted bar that is overlayed over the document and stays
fixed as you scroll through the document. It acts like a pointer as you read,
similar to how people read physical books with a pencil or a ruler to help with
focus.

Sioyek offers something similar called a visual ruler where it highlights the
text being read. The problem with their implementation is that depending on the
document and how its formatted, the texts may not be highlightable; rendering
the feature useless.

Can we have a reading bar implemented in Okular?

Thanks in advance
