For quick access to key functions, it would be great if left mouse context menu shall allow switching between browse & text selection

So you want the ability to switch between the Browse and Text Selection tools using the context menu?

Yes. 
This is convenient when moving the document around, e.g. when zoomed in & then being able to quickly select text without needing to go up to the tool menu.

(Sorry for posting a not well described report initially.)

Got it. Seems reasonable.

Comment 4 DaCoEx 2022-01-16 23:40:41 UTC

Best if we could also switch to highlight mode with context menu
