Hi all,
In the next version, I suggest access to the text tool be placed in the Text submenu, either right above or right below Text>Text_and_Font. So it would be Text>Text_tool.
I haven't looked at the source code in 7 years, but I think this would be as simple as adding menu item Text>Text tool and having it call win.tool-switch('Text') on left click.
Icons and hotkeys are wonderful time savers, but in my opinion they don't relieve the need of a functionality being reachable from the menu, so the functionality is reachable without dangerous trial and error.
Also, for some unknown reason, Shift-t didn't invoke the text tool, although F8 did. I tried looking for the key bindings, but all I found was in an extension called "Jesseink", and those weren't what was needed.
So what do you think? Would you be able to add the text tool to the text menu?
Thanks,
