Another feature request (hehe sorry, but I love your addon). For this feature request, I will use “quads” as an example but it could also work with other shapes (edges, triangles, polygons):

Currently, after you have finished creating a quad (that I will name “quad A”), if you want to create another connected quad, you have to select a vertex (from quad A) and you draw the shape of the next quad (quad B). It’s fine and works perfectly as it should.

But it would be awesome if you could you add a modifier hotkey (Shift, Ctrl, Alt, …) to let the user create new quads but connected to the last created vertex (from quad A). In other words: as soon as the fourth vertex from quad A is created, the addon start creating a new line from this fourth vertex to the position of the cursor.

This way, there wouldn’t be a “break” between the creation of two quads. It would speed up a lot the creation of connected quads.

Ideally, these modifier keys would be customizable in the Addon preferences.
