            Bug ID: 526521
           Summary: [wish] Add the ability to highlight a word with
                    doubleclick after pressing 1..6 keys
    Classification: Applications
           Product: okular
      Version First 26.04.3
       Reported In:
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: okular-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: ys.prism at gmail.com
  Target Milestone: ---

Currently it onlu allow users to drag mouse to highlight text. 

But naturally Linux desktop has the ability to select a word with double click.
It would be great if you keep this ability when Okular is in Highlight mode (or
markdown mode?). So that right after one has pressed one of the keys from 1 to
6, the next doubleclick would immediately highlight a word. 

To make trippleclick working in this mode to highlight a sentence would be
awesome too.

Happy to test if needed.

Thanks
