Description Viktor 2020-05-04 23:00:07 UTC 
I would like to be able to quickly select and copy text while remaining the the "Review/Annotation" mode. Currently, I am required to ctrl+4 to enter text select and then F6 to return to Review. These are unnecessary steps and quite inconvenient for a mouse-heavy workflow such as reading pdfs.

Ideal solution:
Have a smart "Browse/Hand" tool which switches to text selection when hovered over text like all other pdf viewers.

Second best:
Allow for text selection without exiting Review mode and possible allocate an additional shortcut without ctrl. Maybe ` as it is before 1?
