switch to move tool after placing object or text (user option)


Recommended Posts

It'd be great to have an option to have Affinity switch to the move tool after each item you place. The current method is especially irksome when placing text. I have to hit escape several times in a row, and then V.... EVERY TIME immediately after putting text in. It's tedious.

 

Sketch, for instance, switches back to the move tool after you put text in (indeed, after each thing you place). I submit that this is the most natural method. Most of the time I place an object, then drag / adjust it exactly where I want it to go.  Then place another object, adjust, etc.

 

I understand if not everyone would prefer this, but it'd be nice to at least have the option for either behavior. 

 

Thanks :)
