Grayscale page rendering

New Toggle Grayscale command (CmdToggleGrayscale, command palette) renders document pages in grayscale. The choice is remembered in the FixedPageUI.Grayscale setting (#6207).

Read aloud from cursor position

New Start Reading From Cursor Position command (CmdReadAloudFromCursorPosition) starts Read Aloud at the text under the mouse cursor. It has no default shortcut, so you can bind your own; from the command palette it uses where the mouse was before the palette opened (discussion #6213). The Read Aloud toggle command is now named CmdToggleReadAloud.

Border width for more annotation types

The borderwidth argument of the CmdCreateAnnot* commands now also works for line, polyline, polygon, square and circle annotations, not only free text and ink (discussion #6208).

Annotation placement from the command palette

Choosing an annotation tool such as Ink, Line or Square from the command palette now starts the same on-page placement mode as the Edit PDF toolbar, instead of creating a default annotation right away.

Right-click toolbar drop-downs stay open

A toolbar drop-down opened with a right-click now stays open until you press Esc or click the page.
