Improve Quick Tools UX for stylus

Post by Loki@99 »

Hi,

Issue
- Long press action isn't really giving a great UX when using a stylus on the Quick Tools bar.
- With the current UI, there's no way to invoke the sub menu with touch.

Solution
Use a drop down icon and click it to display the right click menu action.
I noticed that it is already available for the Edit objects button.
In order to always have icons centered, having the drop down icon vertically would be great.

In this regard, it will give somehow what Drawboard PDF offers

The stylus experience will definitely be better.

Thanks for considering this,
