LOVING the highlight indicator/helper

LivresInOz · 02-18-2023, 03:53 PM

Hey I just want to thank the devs for the improvements to highlighting.

1. New indicator/helper:
a) tells you how you can get out of highlight mode - two ways!
b) seems to make it easier to know you're definitely highlighting (helpful esp if you are using the 'touch-start-then-touch-end' method as I often do for accuracy.)

2. The problem with highlights that cross over two pages seemed to be fixed.

I highlight CONSTANTLY while studying and also use now the excellent KOHighlights.

So I love this enhancement !

It's such a small detail but I'm loving how highlights can now include trailing punctuation!

I’m finding the new mechanism to be a bit harder to use — the popup asking what I want to do with the highlight seems to get in the way, and isn’t blocked from coming up again when I try to choose an end point — am I missing something?

Press "Select" in the first popup dialog.

EDIT: Got what you mean.
How would we know what to do with the combined highlight?
