Extended "Hover-mode-Pulleys" in a second, lowerscreen Swipe-Domain

Remember the little "hovermode-pulley" from the N900 which enables you to mark document passages quickly & efficiently in many contexts ? I think it should be re-introduced in a enhanced manner. Even though this could mean to introduce another lower-screen based positioned "swipe-domain" i.e. from "off the edges into the screen" which will not trigger any "main-swipe" navigation. There thus could be available two such icon-pulleys: one from either side, universally available and completely customizable (i.e. also adding quick links for screenshots, etc.). I'd suggest basic jolla functionality including: universal enhanced system clipboard (min.3 instances & imagery support ), navigation arrows (up-dwn-l-r), home/end, screencapture (incl. video ;-) ? ) Of course the "swipe-domains" will co-rotate with screen-orientation ( portrait / landscape view )

[ Having >200 Karma-Points I'm still not allowed to insert any screenshots or other supportive imagery. If I'd be finally allowed to attach an image-file to my contributions - which'd very helpful to get over things by visualizing them - I'd be happy to post a photo-montage for this feature-request ... ]
