Description Martin 2019-09-09 08:33:13 UTC
When one annotates a PDF document, one uses a comment tool (eg pop-up notes)

Today, as soon as we have used a comment tool, it is unselected, and consequently the commenting process is uneffective
 
select comment tool
leave comment
select comment tool
leave comment
select comment tool
leave comment
 
Instead, what about keeping the comment tool selected event after usage? this way the usage is more effective:

select comment tool
leave comment
leave comment
leave comment

Thanks! --Martin

The tools stay selected if you select them by double-clicking.  I agree that this is not super-intuitive.

As I understand it the annotations toolbar is in the process of being overhauled. My hope is that this will bring a more discoverable way to permanently select annotation tools.

I confirm that double-clicking works on my box! Thanks a lot Oliver.
