Works great. I agree on maintaining short cuts as defined on the entire type
system, it's only a minor inconvenience in the case that no shortcut could be
assigned.
If it was possible to somehow prioritize which types get assigned shortcuts,
even this minor inconvenience could be avoided.
Also, the edit view does not switch to the just added annotation, unless the
annotation type corresponds to the current mode.
Lets create follow up issues, so we do not forget about the short cut
problem.
The selection handling was designed to only select things in the current
mode, its at least behaving as intended, if that still makes sense is a
different question.
When I first created the Annotation Editor I had a strong need to edit
one annotation e.g. add/correct annotation names in many documents. Over
time that changed, but the annotation mode stayed there and was extended
with an ability to show multiple types. So if you have good ideas here
how to improve things, we are happy to listen.
The selection handling is actually quite an interesting question,
because it must be clear to the user what is
currently selected, because actions are performed on the selection. E.g.
delete annotation, or change annotation bounds.
