Idea: During pause, show more text

[weidenrinde]

Speed-reading works fine for me, but sometimes there a constructs, word in a text where I need more time for understanding.

My idea to fix this: When pressing the pause button, show 20 words before and after the current cursor-word.

Do you think this is valueable?

It's on my issues list. (Right after "synchronizing with a navigation view for easy random access") To do it most nicely, you'd wind up setting the text by hand previous to the current word.

A reasonable fallback might be to just imagine that the text shown is part of a virtual column that is hidden while playing. When paused, the virtual column is positioned to register exactly with the monocle.
