I found out I can highlight pdfs with okular in-file by the review tool, but everytime I use the highlighter, it gets turned off afterwards again, so to highlight the next piece of text I have to activate it again.
I would like to change this behaviour to 'toggle' on off by clicking (or pressing 4), and not have it turn off automatically.
I saw here that the tools can be modified, but it doesn't mention toggling.

Click on the tool button, then click with the left mouse button and hold to place the beginning of the highlighted text snippet, then drag to highlight it.
In previous version of okular (21.04. 3-2), after highlighting a text by typing 1, a right click on the highlighted use to give a pop-up menu that allow to add comments the highlighting or or to erase it.
You can save a "document archive" from the open document by choosing File → Export As → Document Archive. To open an Okular document archive, just open it with Okular as it would be e.g. a PDF document. Since Okular 0.15 you can also save annotations directly into PDF files.
1 Answer. In Okular, you should press F6 . then you will see a toolbar with different options for highlighting.
Double-clicking the tool solves it, as I found in a Bug report pointing to the manual.
