Switching back to hand tool automatically

Post by Nicolas »

Hi,
Ergonomics question : when I add a text box on my documents, the next think I want to do is not adding another textbox, it's scrolling to the next section where I'll insert a new textbox.
Therefore, everytime I insert a comment, the first thing I have to do next is go back to the hand tool first. It doens't feel natural and I noticed that first time users need a lot of time before this mechanism becomes a reflex.
KB shortcuts are an option but I was wondering if reverting automatically to the default tool (hand tool) could be possible.
Is it ?

Hello Nicolas,
This can be toggled by enabling/disabling our "keep selected" mode toggle, from the format tab of any tool:

I hope this helps!
