Using Fedora 37 (and having just installed Okular), I see that
annotations are tricky to open in Okular.

First you have to select the Annotations tab on the left pane, go to the
annotation and then right-click on it to open (the pop-up note).

Evince has a more effective approach: double-clicking on the icon opens
the note (afaIk, this is similar to Acrobat).
Right you are, it works with your method, thanks!
I think the students have Evince so perhaps it's the best solution in the absence
there are some provisions for spaces in text but for verbatim it is a bit more tricky

\setuptyping[space=on]

you now see visual spaces show up that can be copied

now, say that we add real spaces, which you can do after and this (in cont-new.mkxl):

\unprotect
\setvalue{\??typingspace\v!character}{\chardef\obeyedspace32 }
\protect

and then:

\setuptyping[space=character]

in sumatra pdf:

default   : spaces are copied as spaces (so three become three
on        : visual spaces for every one
character : funny newlines when more than two spaces
 
 
OK, I see, thanks for the explanation! Indeed, when I look at the makeup, there is no glue there to offset the line. But in Okular it just ignores those spaces.
 

Cheats that add some kerning before and after confuse viewers even more.

so: this is all very viewer dependent! (The suggested comment method is more reliable.)

Unfortunately as I just found out, comments are also viewer dependent... For instance in Firefox, indentations are lost.
 
So for now, attached files for longer snippets and visual spaces with a string replacement operation afterwards are the way to go it seems.
