Selection Pointer description change #91

Closed flywire closed 6 months ago

flywire commented 4 years ago

In some applications a command is terminated after it is used. A specific mention of Selection Pointer where the concept of sticky commands and how to stop (kill) them is explained is important.

I checked source code and context in the docu. The wording Selection Pointer is suspect here, as it does definitely not select anything. Basically the menu entry in question is to trigger the ESC key action, and thus to cancel the active tool. When no tool is active, it does nothing. I believe the intention behind this wording was, that the user gets back the arrow mouse cursor, the Selection Pointer, when it is in cross mode for tools. Because change the wording in source code is no option for 2.2.0.x I reject this PR.

Many thanks anyhow :+1:
