Do you want to request a feature or report a bug? I'd like for the 'Rewind to here' feature to be available for each segment of text in 'read' mode (as it is in 'write' mode).


-
What is the current behavior? When writing the story in 'write mode', there's a "Rewind to here"-arrow/button on each segment of text, allowing the writer to go back to any part of the text. This feature is not available in 'read' mode, other than to go back to the very beginning of the story.
-
What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior? Adding 'Rewind to here' to each segment of text would allow the reader to go back to a previous choice and make a new one, rather than having to go all the way back to the beginning of the story.

Other information (e.g. detailed explanation, stacktraces, related issues This issue came up when I was testing a story of mine and I realised that when reading a physical gamebook, I'd be able to keep a finger at the previous segment so as to be able to go back and try another choice without having to replay the whole story from the beginning. It felt as if this may be something that was something that someone else might have thought about and also that it may not be very difficult to fix, given some knowledge of the code. Thus, I'd be interested in contact with someone who can help me/one of my programmer friends navigate the code so as to allow me to set up a server with this feature enabled. Grateful for any and all help I can get - Inklewriter is a great tool!
