Disable Links

New DisableLinks advanced setting (off by default): when on, links in the document are ignored, so you can select text and read without following them by accident. This helps with drawings and schematics that are full of links. Turn it on or off with Toggle Disable Links (CmdToggleDisableLinks) in the command palette. The existing Toggle Show Links only outlines links in blue and does not disable them (#5939).

Keep your zoom when following bookmarks and links

New IgnoreDestinationZoom advanced setting: when true, clicking a bookmark or an in-document link still goes to the target page and position, but keeps your current zoom instead of switching to the zoom the link asks for. Adobe Reader and Foxit have the same option. Off by default (discussion #5938).

Toggle Hover Preview command

Toggle Hover Preview (CmdToggleHoverPreview) in the command palette turns the citation/reference hover popup on or off.

Annotation hover shows author and contents

Hovering an annotation now shows its author together with its contents. Free text annotations show the author (or “Anonymous”). The tip also appears while you are editing (#5329).

Settings and color dialogs no longer block the window

Settings (Options) and Change Background Color / Change Tab Color now open in separate windows, like Change Theme, so you can keep using the main window while they are open.
