[win10] Switching from Node Tool (A) to rectangle (J) does not work



  • When I am last using the Node Tool, I cannot switch directly to a shape tool such as the rectangle with shortcut J

    • Switching to other tools such as Pen (P), Brush (B), Text (T) or select (V) works as expected.
    • I can do a 2-hop like Node Tool (A) -> Select Tool (V) -> Shape Tool (J/E)

    Edit: From feedback I understand this is not a bug but a feature.



  • @syllie When in node editing mode (A), J is used for joining two selected nodes,
    or two open shapes. That's why it won't switch to the Rectangle tool.

    But here I can switch to the Ellipse tool with Eā€¦



  • @b77 Thanks for looking at this. I see why it works like that. I am certain that I could not switch to other shape tools before I reported it, but cannot reproduce now so perhaps I made an assumption here.

    AKA not a bug, but a feature šŸ™‚ Thanks!



  • @syllie Yes, there are a few other single-key shortcuts when in shape
    editing mode ā€” you can see them in the right-click menu.
