Generally, I love Miro.

The one thing which I really don’t love, is having to mouse click so much to switch between tools.

Switching from pen to smart draw and back, changing colors, thicknesses, etc. would be much faster (at least on desktop) if there were keyboard shortcuts.

Additionally, adding shortcuts to the tools will allow pen tablets (huion, wacom, etc.) to work much better with Miro.
There are already some more requests for more specific shortcuts but it would be great to just have everything accessible from the keyboard.

I completely agree, It seems to me it would be nice to have something like this:

or pie menu ?!

Excalidraw has a great support for every key being mapped. 

(a) → Arrow

(l) → Line

(r) → Rectangle

(o) → Oval 

(p) → Pen

(d) → Diamond

And number mappings for the toolbar.

 

This makes it significantly easier to use with keyboard + trackpad/mouse.

It’d be great to get similar support.
