Config Option: Default Active Tool Size

[sneukam]

Feature Description

Add a configuration setting in the GUI to set the Default Active Tool Size.

For a while, I adjusted the Active Tool Size by moving the slider when editing a screenshot. Manually moving the slider worked, but the slider reset when I switched paint tools.

Steps to recreate

1. Take a screenshot.
2. Increase "active tool size" via "tool settings" panel.
3. Select arrow as the paint tool.
4. Paint arrow on screen.
5. Switch to any different paint tool.
6. Paint that tool on the screen.

Result

• The tool that was painted on the screen in step 6 had its "active tool size" reverted to the tool size when the screenshot was initially taken (Step 1).

Current Workaround
Set and use keyboard shortcuts to modify the active tool size during a screenshot.

1. Open Configurations GUI
2. Select "Shortcuts" tab
3. Set keyboard shortcut for both "Increase the size of the other tools" and "Decrease the size of the other tools"
4. Take a screenshot
5. Use the keyboard shortcuts to modify tool size.
6. Select a paint tool (arrow, box, etc) and paint it on the screen

Result
The active paint tool size that was set using the keyboard shortcuts in step 6 will now permanently apply for all other paint tools selected in the current screenshot, as well as be the new active tool size for all additional screenshots.

In Conclusion
It would be helpful to have a Configuration setting in the GUI to set the default active tool size. This would help people set their preferred tool size without having to modify it each screenshot. The workaround I found with keyboard shortcuts was accidental. I had been frustrated by the active tool size issue for a long time and was going to use the keyboard shortcuts to make the experience less painful, and accidentally found a solution.
