Hi, I think its easiest to share my idea with this mailing-list, I hope this is okay!
I like reading with just hitting <space> until I reach the end of the document. This is not possible with multi-column documents, so I have the idea for an multi-column reading mode. This is what can be configured: *) the number of columns to read (can this be read from the document?) This is when it should be activated: *) the layout is non-continous *) not the whole height of the page is shown *) and the user switches to this column-reading mode Then, when <space>-ing through the document, each page would be scrolled from top to bottom as often as there are columns configured. So if I have a document that looks like this: Page 1: +-----------+ | | | 1 3 | | | | | | 2 4 | | | +-----------+ Page 2: +-----------+ | | | 5 7 | | | | | | 6 8 | | | +-----------+ When I start okular I get this view: +-----------+ | | | 1 3 | | | Then I activate this column-reading mode (with two columns configured), then press <space> I get: | | | 2 4 | | | +-----------+ Pressing <space> again does not scroll to the next page put shows the first page again: +-----------+ | | | 1 3 | | | Press <space> again: | | | 2 4 | | | +-----------+ Pressing <space> again only then scrolls to the next page, since I have read all the columns of the previous page: +-----------+ | | | 5 7 | | | Press <space> again: | | | 6 8 | | | +-----------+ Press <space> again: +-----------+ | | | 5 7 | | | Press <space> again: | | | 6 8 | | | +-----------+ I hope I made my point, what do you think of this idea?
