Hand Tool and Highlight Tool to change automatically
Hi,
when I want to highlight parts of a text I activate the "Higlight Text Tool".
When I want then to scroll up or down or left or right, I have to switch to the "Hand Tool" if I have a touchscreen or an touchpad.
On a touchscreen or a notebook with touchpad it would be easier if there were a preferences-setting which allows to have the Hand Tool automatically activated when you move the cursor over the "non-page-area" (i.e. the grey parts left an right next to the page). When the cursor is over the page then the Highligt Text Tool shold be activated automatically.
If you have a mouse you can use the mouse-wheel at least to scroll up and down. But on a touchpad or a touchscreen the above mentioned functionality whoud be usefull.
So is there a way to realize this functionality?
Thank you very much in advance!

While the Higlight Text Tool is active, scroll using two fingers

Re: Hand Tool and Highlight Tool to change automatically
David and Will, thanks a lot for your replies.
The thing is that I often use a Acer Stylus Pen on the touchscreen of my Acer Switch Alpha 12. This is a convertible notebook, so that I can also use it without the keyboard (on which of course the touchpad is). So I have a Windows-tablet which can be used with the pen.
The function I asked for would be very usefull, because then I could use the Acer as a tablet only with the pen (right hand; left hand holds the tablet). I could very easily scroll or highlight text only with the pen without having to change the tool on the toolsbar or using two fingers of the right hand. When I don't need the fingers on the touchscreen it not only would be much more convenient, it also would prevent the screen from becoming smeared.

Is there a chance to realize the functionality I asked for in one of the next releases?
Would be great!

Hi Hobb19,
I'll see what can be done, but I can't make any guarantees just yet.

Hi Hobb19.
Technically its possible to add option to auto-switch to the Hand-tool when you move_over/touch the non-pages area OR non-text area on pages. With additional handling of the non-text area on the pages you will be able to scroll pages just by dragging their "white-margins".
Cheers.
