I only use last used style as a workaround to not being able to set up
fill/stroke before I create a object akin to Illustrator. You know what
would save time? Being able to set up fill/stroke before a creation of a
object, and at any time akin to Illustrator. In Illustrator, you go
change the fill, and stroke, and objects will be created with those
before you even make a object.
