This is not an issue, it is a request.

It would be great if you could define hotkeys for the diferent elements of the bar in Ardesia. It is very annoying to have to go with the mouse continually to paint, clear or select the normal mouse pointer. My mouse is on strike because travels a thousand of miles to do any simple task with Ardesia and claims an easier way to paint and clear more quickly ;-P

Thanks in advance.

Ardesia is developed for pen and touch devices. In any case try to propose the key stroke and actions and they will mplemented as soon as possible.

Having just started playing with Ardesia and seeing the impact it could make of my online presentations for my class, I would second this request.

My own thought would be whether you could add the capability as a preference, allowing the user to define their own hotkeys. This would virtually eliminate the learning curve for people; someone might like "e" for erase, while another could choose "r" (rub out).
