Switching between "Tap Lookups" modes 150% slower in Pleco Beta vs Pleco Legacy

[Arqui3D]

In Pleco legacy, switching between "tap lookups" modes (Disabled, Text, Text and links) takes just 2 steps:
1. Tap on gear icon
2. Tap on chosen mode.

In Pleco beta, it takes 5 steps:
1. Tap on gear icon
2. Scroll down
3. Tap on "Tap lookup behavior"
4. Tap on chosen mode
5. Tap on "Save".

Pleco Beta uses 150% more steps than Pleco Legacy. My #1 use of Pleco is reading web text with lots of links, which means I need to constantly switch between modes, so this makes a big difference in usability.

There's a toggle in the share menu, 'enable tap-lookups on links.' So should be the same 2 steps.

Thanks, Mike.

I see it only toggles between two options, both with tap lookups active in some way. How can I switch between all three old options (Disable - Enabled for text - Enabled for text + links) in just two taps, as can be done in Pleco Legacy?

In some websites Pleco does not detect all links, so the only way to navigate the website is to completely disable tap lookups.

One example is the webnovel store gongzicp.com. Even after selecting "Disable tap-lookups on links" I still can't find a way to navigate the main menu (推荐 言情...) without at least 4 steps: Share → Add exceptions → Disable tap lookups, and then repeat those steps to re-enable tap lookups.

Will take a look, our expectation with 4.0 was that our link detection had improved enough to make that unnecessary.
