Please, make shortcuts for presets of pencil/marker types (color+thickness) and increasing their number up to four or five (not three as it is now).

Or make one hotkey for their cycling changing.

But the most convinient and easy solution - will be a possibility to move tools and colour-thickness presets from secondary toolbars to the primary ustomizable toolbar (and then the user will be able to use hotkeys 0-9).

Or maybe shortcut for quick opening the color-thickness palette. With ability to leave it opened.

(I am a teacher and I use different colours a lot. I use mouse but more often I use graphic tablet.)

Thanks!

What do you think of adding a keyboard interface to the color pallet tool?

For example, I've added some ideas to this other color pallet wish list:

It needs more votes also…  Perhaps we need to add the idea of a dockable pallet along with a keyboard interface much like we have already for the search...

Totally. A hotkey to sample colors please! It is too many clicks to sample a color and the workflow is cumbersome.

Hi,

I just created a userscript which adds shortcuts to select Pen 1-3 and quickly change the color.

The code and install instructions are on GitHub: https://github.com/DirkHeinke/miro-keyboard-shortcuts-userscript

We would really appreciate this improvement.

Our building design team uses Miro for design brainstorming, sketching, and marking up plans. We frequently switch between several pen colours, line thicknesses, and drawing tools.

Ideally, we'd like a customizable drawing palette with at least 3–4 pen presets AND several straight-line presets, each with independently saved colours and thicknesses.

These should be accessible with a single click, without repeatedly opening tool settings or changing formatting.

For example, we might use a thin black pen, medium red pen, blue pen, yellow highlighter, and several preset straight-line tools.

This is particularly important when switching between mouse and stylus input.

The ability to configure our own drawing tools would substantially improve everyday efficiency.
