TLD-2209 [Feature]: Non-decaying laser

Nerixyz commented 4 months ago

I've tried to make a mini implementation of what I'd like the feature to look like: https://github.com/Nerixyz/tldraw/commit/d65d009bc3c750b3568e15cafb50020d329afb8c. Using the laser tool now looks like this:

Not sure about the taper effect. The main idea is that laser strokes don't disappear until you lift the pen and repeatedly "drawing" with the laser is supported. It kinda works like the laser in GoodNotes, which is really nice for presentations.

This should definitely be behind some setting/option (maybe even a separate tool?).

Duplicated here:

https://github.com/tldraw/tldraw/issues/4211

Nerixyz commented 1 month ago

I don't think #4211 is a duplicate. #4211 proposes a customizable delay, but this issue asks for a laser that doesn't have a delay as long as the pointer is held down. This is especially useful when doing presentations.

Even if this was a duplicate, #4211 should be closed, as this was opened earlier.

You're right, my bad!
