Fewer clicks to switch tools
I'd like to have fewer clicks to change tools. Like changing from pencil to eraser or shapes. Maybe there could be a quick change or some defaults.
To change tools, you have to
1. click the tools menu
2. Click the tab of the tool
3. Choose the specific tool
4. Click out of the menu
Then, you can start using it. And that is without changing any tool options.

For example, on screens larger than 9", move the eraser and highlighter tools out outside the tools tab and put them alongside the pen icon. This will make for less clicks/taps to get erasing/highlighting done.

Should have a "Favorite tools" section. Something like five or six buttons we can customize for one-click access to our favorite pens/tools.

Yep! This is why I'm here today. There is plenty of space on the screen to spread the menu into a row of icons.

Agree with this request! Slow selection disrupts creativity!

Yes, request is 7 yrs old.
And a lot of the requests are very old.

Written on June 22nd 2013: "It is very annoying to switch between pen, eraser, shapes. If you would give each of them a single icon to switch, it would be muuuuuch more comfortable to use."

Is investigated since 2012, it sure will be an excellent solution then

We need this feature as soon as possible. This would safe so much time, switching between different tools.

그리기 기능과 지우개기능을 분리해 주시면 사용하기 더 편할듯 합니다~
필기하다가 지우개로 바꾸고 다시 펜으로 바꾸면서 쓰기 불편하네요~ 기간도 걸리고~ -

A drag able pop out menu that we can change the size on like changing a window on the computer we can send fave colors and pen styles, notes would look better in class with less clicking ... love the app

Could you possibly make the selection bar also close automatically after you selected a certain feature just like you did with the selection of colors? It closes directly after I selected a color.

Most wished! Suggested while named Papyrus, seems to take a while... another five to ten years maybe?

Yes! Even better, a circle palette that can be triggered with the S Pen button!

such an old request for such an essential and highly simple ux change I'm thinking of cancelling my year subscription if I don't see a fix. Simply replace current tool icon for extra tools and add two single tap icons for pen and text tool, the two most used and essential tools
