  Target Milestone: ---

I am using Okular on a surface-style tablet with a detachable keyboard. It
works incredibly well, kudos to the team. Some behaviors I noticed that would
make the experience even better, which might simply be flags to be set in the
background.

1. Okular has a function to keep scrolling after clicking and dragging, when
you leave off with momentum so to say (sorry I cannot describe it any better).
This makes it so that when you lift your finger off the touch screen, sometimes
the screen will go flying. I haven't really seen that in any other program, and
generally it is a welcome feature, but it is a little bit to easy to set off
with a touchscreen. You have to make a conscious effort to lift your finger
right off, or the document will unintentionally go flying. Would be great to
have an option to turn that off, or turn the sensitivity down.

2. The pinch gesture is used in wayland to go to the overview of open windows.
That work with Okular, too, but unfortunately, it will unset your viewing
settings, in particular "Fit Width". So it would be great if there was an
option to lock "Fit Width" or any other zoom setting.

3. Wouldn't be surprised if there is nothing that can be done over this, but I
seem to be unable to change textbox sizes when I add an Inline Note. I can only
move the note around.

Overall, very good experience though! I bought the device just to use Okular,
and it's great! I wish I could convey just over text how stoked I am. This is a
love letter as much as it is a feature request.
