meso5 <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #1 from meso5 <[email protected]> --- This is not just about personal habit. I have tried tens of PDF readers and all except Okular give users two ways to highlight text: you (a) select the highlighter tool and then drag the highlighter across text; or (b) pre-select text and then activate the highlighter to highlight the pre-selected text. Okular does only (a). The vast majority of readers (including Firefox) support both methods with preference to (b). (b) is more useful because you can pre-select text more precisely before you highlight it. You can even use Ctrl+arrows to adjust your selection (not possible yet in Okular). For accessibility alone, this method would be essential. It is the well-established method many PDF users are already familiar with. Speaking from experience, if you are used to this method, Okular is incredibly annoying. It is consistent with the principle that in various applications you select text first and then press Ctrl+B, Ctrl+I etc to format it. It also improves efficiency in certain scenarios eg you can select text, press Ctrl+C to copy it, and then, say, Ctrl+H to highlight it. To select text you can even use double-click and triple-click as normal. In method (b) you can typically activate the highlighter by pressing a toolbar button, pressing a key combination (eg Ctrl+H) or clicking 'Highlight this' in a context menu that appears when you right-click on the selected text (that would appear neatly alongside the current Copy Text, Speak Text and Search Text) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
