Lock the PDF View for Finger Tracking Reading #14

I would like to request a feature that locks the PDF view to prevent accidental touches or gestures while reading. This would allow users to engage in "finger tracking" reading, where the user can follow along with their finger on the screen without the app reacting to taps or swipes.

Possible Features:

Lock the PDF view for reading mode.

Disable gestures like scrolling, zooming, or page navigation temporarily when the feature is activated.

Provide an option to toggle the "locked" mode on and off easily (e.g., from the settings or a dedicated button).

Thank you.

Tap to flip, scroll, and fling are navigation actions. what is the sense to disable two of them and keep the other ? They do not interfere with each other indeed.
The zoom action needs two fingers, how does it hurt reading experience ?

Zoom lock is not needed sorry. You may provide 2 side arrow keys to flip through pages.
Again it helps us in speed reading using finger, and also it is popular among musicians during live performances when staying on a particular page is critical, even if you accidentally touch the screen.
