Show canvas cursor immediately if KB controls used to select gizmo #542
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When keyboard controls are used to select a gizmo, immediately also display the canvas cursor rather than rely on the user having to know that they need to press the arrow keys to place
Describe the solution you'd like
Example workflow:
Ctrl + G to open gizmos, enter to open shapes gizmo, arrows to navigate to desired shape, enter to select shape, canvas cursor immediately appears.
Additional context
Would this be confusing to users not exclusively using keyboard controls, or would it be more of a benefit to those exclusively using keyboard controls? I wonder if the canvas cursor could appear immediately but then if the mouse is moved before placement then the mouse takes over?
I wonder if this is actually just as simple as a message popping up in the usual top left saying 'press an arrow key to use the keyboard cursor'? It would mean way less complexity!
