First stable release of Selection Toolbar, a KOReader plugin that replaces the default centered text-selection menu with a compact icon toolbar displayed near the selected text.

Changelog

  • Added a compact horizontal toolbar for text-selection actions.

  • Replaced the default two-column centered selection menu.

  • Added smart positioning near the selected text, below the selection when possible and above it when needed.

  • Preserved KOReader’s native ReaderHighlight behavior by reusing the original action callbacks.

  • Added support for enabling or disabling individual toolbar actions.

  • Added direct icon loading from the plugin’s own icons/ folder.

  • Added a version entry in the plugin settings menu: v1.0.0.

  • Added QR Code generation using KOReader’s native ui/widget/qrmessage widget when available.

  • Improved compatibility with other plugins by making the IconWidget patch only handle explicitly provided icon paths.

  • Added small performance and organization improvements:

    • cached icon paths;
    • cached QR Code widget loading;
    • reduced repeated action-settings reads;
    • optimized page-offset calculation for toolbar positioning;
    • centralized toolbar button sizing and padding logic.
