So here are the two 2 suggestions I have related to highlighting:

The first feature is sort of available - the 'action on selected text' which you can set using the menu button in the ribbon at the top of the screen (see here for more information: http://www.turnipsoft.com/forums/showthr...p?tid=1713 )

Regarding the your further thoughts on how Freda selects text - I tend to agree that more work is needed.  The basic difficulty is that Freda's design is still based on a 'touch screen' UI.  So it just treats mouse-clicks the same as touch actions.  I will be doing some work on this - initially, to let mouse tap and mouse drag be treated differently from finger-touch and finger-swipe gestures.  So the mouse drag gesture could be assigned to 'select text' while the finger-swipe gesture would do 'change page' - which is probably in line with what most users would expect.
