Since commit 6d7403ff13871b068a121cd0afbb1ee1157ff375,
clicking hyperlink is also possible in text selection mode.
Thus, TextSelect now combines the advantages of
being able to select text and navigating.

Possibly. I did not have this in mind when creating this revision. How can I test this without a touch screen? Is using just the left mouse button on a "normal" computer a proper way to simulate this?

Doesn't this make Okular much less touch-friendly by default?
Yes it does. For example, pinch-to-zoom and pinch-to-rotate is not really usable in text-selection mode.
Given that choosing a tool is persistent across closing and opening Okular, I'd suggest to not apply this patch. People that want text selection as their default only have to switch to it once.

Thanks for your helpful feedback. Given the last comments, I agree that having text selection mode is probably not particularly useful for touch displays. I'm thus abandoning this change.
