For a long time now, I've grumbled about Adobe Acrobat Reader. I make the window narrow so I can see my Audacity window, and I lose the hand tool / selection tool options (to either drag and move the text, or to select the text itself within the PDF). Their stupid "Tools", "Comment", and "Fill and Sign" buttons take up most of the real estate, making the two I use the most disappear. :(

WELL, today I FINALLY thought to web search if there is a keyboard shortcut to toggle those two tools... and there is!

"To enable single-key shortcuts, open the Preferences dialog box (Edit > Preferences), and under General, select the Use Single-Key Accelerators To Access Tools option."
Then it's a simple "H" to select the hand tool, and "V" to use the text selection tool!

If you have had the same frustration - there's your solution. :9:
