If your Internet Explorer 11 default compatibility settings are set to "I.E 7 Compatibility", the PDF plugin will not load. This fix is the same one used by AngularJS to force the browser to use HTML5 mode.
The line that this patch removes has been commented out since 2012 (!), see commit c8a6a9ba00.
Also, since the patch is trivial, I'm fixing the formatting of a comment to stop [GitHub from marking it with a red color](https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/blob/master/web/viewer.html#L394) (and IE from complaining).
The current way that the tabindices are defined, has the unfortunate consequence that adding a single button to the UI might mean having to change almost all tabindices. (This was the case in e.g. PR 4329.)
This patch attempts to avoid that situation happening again, by re-defining the tabindices slightly.
"text/javascript" is not a correct MIME type (the correct one is
"application/javascript") but it's not even needed; all browsers default
to the correct type and treat it as executable JS when type is ommited.
Since not all browsers recognize the "application/javascript" MIME type
the only way to both stay compliant and to support all popular browsers
is to omit the type. It's also shorter this way.
The logic for the hand tool is implemented in a separate project,
maintained at https://github.com/Rob--W/grab-to-pan.js
Integration notes
- Added toggle as an entry under the Secondary toolbar
- Added shortcut "h" to toggle hand tool (to-do: document this in wiki
after merge). This shortcut is also used in Adobe's Acrobat Reader.
To-do: localizations for:
hand_tool_enable.title=
hand_tool_enable_label=
hand_tool_disable.title=
hand_tool_disable_label=
To-do (wish): persistence of hand tool preference, preferably a global setting.
