Sketchpad 2.2.0 includes usability improvements and workflow refinements for drawing with keyboard and mouse controls. This release focuses on improving cursor behavior, preventing accidental drawing actions, and making the drawing experience more predictable after completing figures.
Improvements
More Consistent Cursor Behavior
The cursor now maintains a consistent crosshair and circle appearance when you switch from mouse controls to numpad controls. This makes it clearer where the active drawing point is located.
More Predictable Drawing Flow
After completing a figure, Sketchpad now returns to Select mode. This helps prevent you from unintentionally starting another figure immediately after finishing the current one.
Better Mouse and Numpad Interaction
When you move the drawing point with the numpad, mouse-based drawing is disabled until you click to reactivate the mouse. This prevents accidental changes caused by unintended mouse movement after precise keyboard positioning.
