Hi all Text Box manipulation. May I propose a change to text box manipulation. At present a separate menu and dialogs provide node selection, addition, etc after selecting the properties dialog.
Can node selection, addition, removal and movement together with a rotator handle be automatically 'on' when the text box is selected by single or even double left click - these features are standard in cad. At present it is difficult to move a node without dragging other nodes, each node change must be closed and then the process restarted for the next. May I suggest: <Left click> selects the text box for alteration (as is) Node selected when mouse hovers over that node, move mouse away and node is deselected. <Left click >on a node drags that node while the pointer is over that node. <Crtl right click> adds node at cursor/pointer position on the box boundary. <Shift right click> on a node removes that node. Grabbing <left click> the text box anywhere inside moves/drags the text box (as is). <Ctrl Left click> anywhere inside the text box provides a dialog with 4 selections: <edit contents of text box> <select font> <create another text box joined to this text box> <properties> these features aid flow within the manipulation process. one other unrelated. Can altered text in a text box when saved, automatically update the original text. At present we can have 2 versions of the same text, Thanks Roger
