Ah, thanks for the quick reply! Thats makes sense. I first thought it was a bug because I have never seen an application do hotkeys like this. The problem of having to press multiple times to get to a tool remains. I would prefer having separate hotkeys or the ability to set keys to a specific tool/action. I still think Paint.Net is a job well done. Thanks to the quick answer.

I would just like to report that some of the tools have the same shortcut keys making it difficult to quickly get tools when having one hand on the keyboard and one on the mouse. I don't know if you can set the short cut keys in the program, i dont think so. I believe this needs to be fixed for power users.
