Marking Mode

[MarcelNamyslo]

Hi,

Currently, it's possible to select and copy text directly, which works really well. Would it be possible to switch to a sort of "marking mode" that allows the selected text to remain highlighted?

At the moment, the text turns purple when selected, but the highlight disappears as soon as the mouse click is released. What changes would be necessary to make the highlight persist?

Thanks in advance!

Hi @MarcelNamyslo, I think this feature is interesting and should be created to the project streamlit-PDF-viewer, as the viewer feature are there.

I'm currently not in the capacity to work on any of this, unfortunately, but I welcome PR or whatever contribution can be made.
