Subject: [PATCH] Add 'text' interaction mode for PDF (selection-only, no smart
 detection)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

'select' keeps smart behavior (drag text to select, drag blank to
pan); 'text' always defers to the text/annotation layer so drags
never pan — for users who want pure selection. Shift still force-pans
in both modes; 'pan' remains force-pan.
