No Ctrl-Click on Buttons Needed for Bookmarks View Mode
When editing in Desktop, you have to Ctrl-Click a button to trigger the assigned action – very good. But when you have multiple bookmarks and you go into “View” mode, you are effectively in “PowerPoint Mode”. When in this mode, there should be just a single click for a button (no ctrl needed).
