Selecting/Highlighting text with smart snapping

← Android
Xodo now supports selection with smart snapping. This feature facilitates selecting/highlighting text.

Just hold down and then drag over the words you want to select, as you select part of a new word the whole characters in the word will be selected/highlighted.




If you prefer to select/highlight only part of a word (a group of characters inside a word), it would be easy to remove snap to start and/or snap to end:

Removing snap to start

Drag the pointer all over the first word and continues until the next word is also selected/highlighted, and then drag back to the first word.

  

Removing snap to end

Drag back after a new word is selected/highlighted, and then you are able to easily tune the end pointer.
