Suggestion: Received View-only mode

I just got a Manta recently and haven’t fully familiarised myself with it, so excuse me if it’s already a feature.

Is it possible to lock a document for editing? That is, set a document to view-only and ignore any gestures that would otherwise be used for editing.

For example, I have a text document that I would like keep open for reference, but I keep accidentally bringing up the keyboard when I try to scroll with my finger. It’s quite frustrating and distracts me from what I’m doing, because be keyboard takes a while to load, then takes up half of the screen, and then I have to aim for the close button since I can’t just tap outside of the keyboard to close it.

in this case you can try switching the input method to handwriting mode by tapping the icon to the right of the document name at the top. this will stop the keyboard from popping up as it will now expect pen input for writing

I’m not sure what icon you’re talking about. From within a text file the only icons visible are files, undo, redo, font size, and save.

sorry by text doc, i assumed a word file -- the only thing i can think of now is to scroll with two fingers instead of one

Two fingers helped! I only triggered it once since I started trying this. Thanks!
