Hotkeys to toggle drawing or cursor #4

Closed StephenHaney closed 3 years ago

My biggest feature request before I can use this while filming is a hotkey to toggle between drawing mode and my normal mouse cursor.

Right now it appears I can hit escape to get back to my cursor, but then I need to move back to the bottom left of my screen to reselect drawing. I need the ability to quickly toggle back and forth or it's a distracting pause in my content.

Edit: I see also there are hotkeys, but they only work if the app already has focus. So, once I'm in cursor mode, there's no hotkey to get back into drawing mode, though I could be missing it.

Double edit: another data point, alt + tabbing back to TLDraw does not focus it enough for the hotkeys to work.

Good call — I'll look into global hotkeys. https://www.electronjs.org/docs/api/global-shortcut

Yes! This appears to be solved with 0.3.0 introducing cmd + opt + z. Would love to be able to customize :D I'd probably set something like cmd + tilde key.
