Description

´**Possibility of annotating the multiple words at once.**
When trying to annotate entities, i can only annotate one at a time. For example:
I click the labels, then i click the word and the word is annoated, which is good. Now, if i want to annoate another word with same entity, then i again have to click the same tag, and then annotate it.
In figure:
here, i clicked MISC tag:

Then i annotated "is line",

now the problem is, if i have to annotate the second lines "is line" word, then i again have to click the tag and then annotate it.

**Solution**
Just like in docanno, it is better to hold the tag, that is clicked until it is changed. i.e. if i click the MISC, then until i chnage the tag, this should be annotated everytime, when ever words are clicked.
