Actually, there is a documented menu item (Go -> Back/Forward) and shortcut for this (Alt+Shift+Left/Right arrow, can be configured). http://docs.kde.org/stable/en/kdegraphics/okular/navigating.html Is this what you want? Mmm, the Go -> Back/Forward feature is nice and I apologize for not having noticed it earlier, this is not what I was talking about, but actually is a nice solution to my issue. What I originally asked in my feature request was this: suppose in a document I have equation 1 on page 3, then on page 10 a reference to eq 1 [which typically is highlighted with some color if the latex code was compiled with hyperref]. Instead of going back and forth between pages 10 and 3 [which is not that painful with the feature you just suggested] I'd like to hover the reference "eq 1" on page 10 and having a small rectangle appear next to the reference showing equation 1 for an instant review of that equation. The same idea could apply to footnotes, bibliography items, etcetera. I would be very interesting in this feature too. It is sort of hard to read a (very?) non-linear document by clicking pages and then going back to the previous document position. It’s too easy to lose track of where you were before the link − be it a figure, reference, footnote, etc. I think this feature made navigating wikipedia a much better experience, they call them “navigation popups”: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation_popups I think that the ways this would work is on hovering links that point to inside the document (either with an option enabled or some shortcut), a small popup would open to show the link destination. Would this be implementable as a plugin, or are those only used for supporting different file types? Would a patch going in this direction be appreciated, or is this feature too niche? |
