disableImmediateActionOnAnnotationSelection()

Disable whether the tool should trigger an action immediately after clicking an annotation. When this is disabled you need to first click on annotation to select it before you can drag it. This behavior is disabled by default.

enableImmediateActionOnAnnotationSelection()

Sets if the tool should trigger actions immediately after clicking an annotation. For example, if this is enabled then you can immediately click and drag an annotation without making a separate click to select the annotation.
Example
To enable this for one tool (The Pan tool, for example), this can be done:

const tool = docViewer.getTool(window.Core.Tools.ToolNames.PAN);
tool.enableImmediateActionOnAnnotationSelection();

To enable this for all selection tools, this can be done:

const allTools = Object.values(docViewer.getToolModeMap());
for (const tool of allTools) {
  if (tool instanceof Tools.AnnotationSelectTool) {
    tool.enableImmediateActionOnAnnotationSelection();
  }
}
