Preview Placement Feature #122

Closed Gamingmouse64 closed 3 months ago

Gamingmouse64 commented 7 months ago

Hi, I've been using Kleki for some time now, and one thing that always gets in the way when drawing is when you wanna place down text or a shape, it can be tricky determining where the text/shape's origin will be. (Especially with something like circles)

So, why not an outline or an indicator that implies or displays where text/ shapes would begin? For example, if you were gonna place down some text, then have it so some semi-transparent text or a box would detail where the text would begin from if it was placed there. The same would go for shapes.

Thank you for reading this, I really do enjoy using Kleki, and I wish you a good day.

Thanks for the suggestion. Question: Do you use Kleki on a touchscreen?

I understand the struggle with shapes. It's not that easy to get them right. Depending on what you do circles can be easier to place with "outwards" checked Untitled

With the text tool I don't quite understand. In the preview is an outline that gives you an idea, and even if you placed it wrong you can drag the preview (or press the arrow keys) to adjust the position. Is that insufficient?
