Enable User to pin his or hers most recent or most used drawing tool(s) for easy access

I used the rectangular drawing tool a lot and it’s really a pain to always be going back clicking to find it hidden where it’s at. Even if the drawing tools icon at the left could remember, as a favorite, the last drawing tool used, that would be very helpful. Please consider. It’s implementation, I would be very grateful.

100% agree that drawing needs UX improvement. At the minimum, an option to stay in drawing mode (similar to Trading View) would solve this problem but a pinned/recent/favorited tools or toolbar would be an excellent addition.

Scenario
If I want to draw 3 rectangles on a chart, I have to:

  1. Click 3 times to get to the Rectangle drawing tool
  2. Draw first rectangle
  3. Click 2 times to reactivate Rectangle tool
  4. Draw second rectangle
  5. Click 2 times to reactivate Rectangle tool
  6. Draw third rectangle

Having a last used/pinned drawing tool could eliminate 2 clicks and maintain focus.
Having a Stay in Drawing mode could eliminate 4 clicks and maintain total focus on task at hand.

I personally am a fan of TradingView starred tools showing up in a custom favorites toolbar so I can pick my most used tools and put them in a dedicated toolbar.
