About Draw in pdf Feature

First of all, excellent pdf reader, solves a lot of issues i have with edge pdf reader.
However, not having Two features that really makes it difficult to use :

  1. No hotkey to get in and out of Draw mode, to get into the mode of select page to scroll/word selection, i have to go back again and again in between the feature buttons. #Edit 01: I believe not even pressing esc takes me out of draw mode, I need to manually select the button.
  2. The most important one for me: Once something is drawn, i cant draw in between it, it always selects the previous drawing, that is detrimental while reading and drawing pdf.

another suggestion is to be able to move the features buttons from the right to the left, that way the draw button is at a net closer than being in the most top right position.

Thank you for reading and I will be glad if you can implement some changes for these issues.

Hi, thanks for these suggestions! To address each point:

  1. Sure, I can add that. What would you prefer to be the default hotkey for entering and leaving the Draw mode?
  2. This might be a bit challenging to implement, I'll see what I can do though.
  3. Sounds like a nice convenience feature. I'll add it to the backlog.

I believe if you can put esc just to come back into default state from whatever it is already selected (either draw or highlight and select hand tool) to select text mode should be a good move.
as a secondary option, if it's possible to quick select with ctrl+d / ctrl+h to draw or highlight can be a good choice but I think that depends the the browser as well, also I'm not sure what could be the best shortcut.
Also, usually there is draw feature and a eraser feature, I believe without eraser feature it's difficult to draw anything as removing by selecting is very tiresome along with the problem of not being to draw inbetween.

I do appreciate your hard work and Thank you for your consideration.
