Apps: Designer Platforms: macOS, Windows and iPad When using Pencil Tool the behaviour has always been that after drawing any curve that curve is then selected. There has been many requests to add an option to change that behaviour so the newly created curve is not selected. This is particularly useful when you often want to change the colour or stroke width of the curve you create next without changing the properties of the curve you have just created. You can find this option in the context toolbar of the Pencil Tool (“Keep selected” checkbox, default value is on as per current behaviour). On iPad the option is represented with the below icon (again it's toggled on by default) We have also added this option to all shape tools on iPad too. This was previously available on desktop versions only (note we have also changed the name of that option on desktop from "Select new object" to "Keep selected" for consistency)

Can we have the option to toggle this on or off, as in Illustrator? It’s so frustrating to draw a line, deselect, draw, deselect, draw, deselect, and all with that tiny little x at the bottom of the screen!
