Locked "reading" mode
When I review my notes, it's too easy to accidentally erase something, especially when the eraser tool is assigned to the finger touch

We just released an update on Google Play today (v0.7.0) which adds a “view-only” mode. By default, notes are opened in the last mode they were in (so at first, “edit” mode). You can switch to “view-only” mode by clicking “view-only” in the overflow menu (three dots in the upper right or menu key on some devices). The default behavior can be changed to always open in “view-only” or “edit” in the Papyrus settings under Note Editor→Open Actions.

Right now, it is the most desirable feature for me and the locked mode state should be maintained when I close and open a note.

Read-Only Mode so you can't write when you are reading. Scroll with one finger.

Great idea, I'd like to have a "hand" mode available addtionaly to drawing, erasing and cutting. This mode should alow to pan the document without changing the content.
When opening a jote, a predefined mode (drawing, hand mode, last used) should be set.
