Use case or problem
Highlighting text in Obsidian Mobile is extremely frustrating for users who want an immersive reading experience and need to highlight text. Having to switch to Source Mode or Live Preview just to highlight text messes up the reading flow and makes it tough to manage and mark up notes efficiently. Additionally, there is a bug that makes the highlights on Live Preview and Source Mode overlap the tools where the highlighting option is located, making things even more difficult.
Proposed solution
Implement a feature that allows users to highlight text directly within Reading View. This enhancement would streamline the reading and note-taking process, making it more intuitive and less frustrating. By enabling highlighting in Reading View, users can seamlessly annotate their notes without the need to constantly switch views, thereby improving overall productivity and user satisfaction.
Current workaround (optional)
Currently, users must switch to either Source Mode or Live Preview to highlight text, which is time-consuming and interrupts the flow of reading and note-taking. This workaround is not ideal and hampers the user experience significantly.
