Over the years I have developed the habit of hitting the tool shortcut key before starting an operation. Just so I don't have to undo what I didn't want done in the first place. But in AD I first have to check to see which tool is active because if the selected tool is active it then changes to the tool used previously. Why would anyone want this?
Do some users actually think about what tool was used previously and then make the conscious decision that they can get to the pen tool by hitting an A? 9 times out of 10 I couldn't tell you what tool I used previously.
If I want to switch back from the node tool to the pen tool I can hit a P instead of an A. Is a P harder to hit than an A? Would anyone really want to use the A instead of a P? Is it really a shortcut key if you have to always check to see which tool is active before hitting it? I might as well just use the tool panel to select tools.
Can we at least have a preference to do away with this? So the only tool we can get with an A is the node tool? Isn't that really what a shortcut key is for?
Can you tell I find this very annoying? :wacko:
