Can't double click to highlight over word with hyperlink

Post by MedBooster »

Can't double click to highlight over word with hyperlink despite the shortcut for opening the hyperlink being Ctrl+Left click

I don't want to simply use exclusive mode (which is a workaround), because then you can't select other comments.

I think it's just that PDF-xce maybe thinks I am using the other shortcut for opening a hyperlink (website) – which is double-clicking...
In this situation it does nothing though.

Hello MedBooster,

Try holding down the Shift key - that will toggle the exclusive mode while you have the Shift Key pressed, and turn it off as soon as you release it. That would allow you to make the selection under that link, and then continue selecting other elements if needed.

Kind regards,
Stefan
