Bug ID: 453910
Summary: Allow the immediate combination of highlighting with
pop-up notes
Product: okular
Version: 22.04.1
Platform: Flatpak
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: PDF backend
Assignee: okular-de...@kde.org
Reporter: christian.goe...@mailbox.org
Target Milestone: ---
When proofreading pdf-files, a common pattern is the combination of
highlighting with a pop-up note.
In my use-case this applies to the majority of my own comments. (Obviously, use
cases may be very different) :-)
I believe it would be very useful to have an option (with an icon in the
toolbar) for the combination of highlighting with
a pop-up comment.
Dream behaviour (of the future):
1. Select the (new) option "highlighting with pop-up note" in the annotation
toolbar.
2. Select and highlight text (holding the left mouse key) - when releasing the
mouse key, immediately open the combined pup-up note-window
3. let me type the text into the note (via keyboard)
4. bonus: the pop-up note window closes at the first left-click on the document
(no close button involved) - Okular should stay in highlighting mode
afterwards. Alternative: Use a much bigger close button in the pop-up note
window.
Currently, there are additional steps involved for combined highlight with
pop-up notes:
at step 2: currently one hast to select the highlighting marker, right click,
choose pop-up note
at step 4: close the pop-up window by clicking on the (very small) close button
in the pop-up-window.
Anyway, this would make the use of annotation easier.
It's just a big point on my personal wishlist for Okular. :-D
Keep up the great work and let me know it there is something I should ad to the
description.
