auto switch back tool, shape size input??

[broderp]

forgive me if this goes in another section, but does Paint.net allow the abilty to switch back to the last used tool after picking a color? :?:

I use the color select tool a lot and have to always go back and reselect the prior tool (usually the brush tool). It would be a great time saver if I could select acolor and have the program go back to the default/ previous tool.

I also would like to be able draw shapes, like a square, and be able to enter the size for repeatability. I find drawing repeat shapes of the same size difficult with a mouse, when I need to make them identicle. (Try to draw a square 567 x 702, 10 times. )

Thanks for any input.

Yes. When you select the color picker, look in the toolbar. You can change the behavior to "After click, switch to previous tool". If you like to make that permanent, you can do this in your settings page.

Draw it on a new layer and duplicate 10 times.
