Description cipsbox 2014-02-13 04:58:50 UTC 
After you've done an highlight operation you have to press again the highlight shortcut to reactivate it for next highlight operation. Instead the mouse get reset to browse tool.

If the current behavior is desired by many, it will be great if I have an option in UI or tools xml file to set it in my way.

Reproducible: Always

Please read the manual.

As I did not discover this feature of Okular immediately, for those who find out about this feature through this bug report, a small shortcut:

Double-Click the icon to permanently select it. Esc to escape that.

My okular version is 1.3.3
Double-click works in Ubuntu 18.04 but I would like to know whether something is going to be done by the developers so that:
- clicking once is enough to keep the tool active after using it once.
and
- typing the number of each tool is enough to keep the tool active after using it once.

Thanks
