Photo's default tool is the View tool. I rarely use this tool in any app so I was wondering if there's a way to change Photo's default tool to the Move tool. I thought I'd just remove the View tool with Customize Tools but when I tried that and created a new document Photo still defaulted to the View tool. Since the tool was no longer in the panel it couldn't show it as selected but it was active anyway which is kind of interesting.

Please consider, as with most cad and edit products, the ESC key should release the cursor and the current associated active function. As an example, when drawing a line, pressing escape should quit the function as if the Move Tool icon had been clicked.

Evening all, I have been using Adobe software Professionally(Print and Digital) for 35 years, I have Affinty 2 suite,I'm sure you'll want, many more long term Abode users to able to just Jump in, for the most part you can, but there are few peculiarities of behaviour with the software, which I'm struggling with, the main one currenhtly being right now I'm sure I'll find more... layer drag and drop between documents and overall layer behaviour. Photoshop behaviour , drag layer to another opened document ...boom layer is present and I can edit and adjust as i see fit. Affinity (Photo v2.3.1) Behaviour, drag the layer to an empty document, it creates a background layer, it appears uneditable and unable to move it with the move tool (v).... FML..... it really shouldn't be more complicated than the Photoshop process and having to internet search every issue or trawling through the online help is Frustrating
