Is there a way to highlight faster?
I'm surprised that there's no way to highlight words with a stylus in KOReader.
I have Kobo Sage with Stylus 2, I highlight a lot while studying and was hoping there will be a faster way to highlight words in PDFs (not the tap and hold and wait for the dialogue and tap highlight).
Any Ideas?

Use the kind of stylus that has the rubber tip. The kind used for an iPhone.

It means you can use a stylus and not your finger.

Stylus features are not supported at all in KOReader unless someone patches it

You can change the default action Long-press on text: "Highlight" instead of "Ask".

You can also reduce the long-press interval. (Top menu, gear icon, Taps and gestures ->, Gesture intervals ->, Long-press interval). I have mine set to 300 ms, and it does feel a lot snappier. (Default is 500 ms.)
