Dedicated Arrow in drawing tools

[Marj]

Hi, I am not sure how hard it would be to implement,but I would really like to see a dedicated arrow

tool as part of the drawings tools. I happen to use arrows a lot and it is currently a 4 step process

to turn a standard line into an arrow, by the time I create the line, choose the direction  of the arrow

choose a different colour from my trendline, choose a different thickness etc. If I had a dedicated

arrow tool I could set the defaults different from my trendlines so it would be a one step process.

Also is there a possibility of using simple hotkeys such as" L" for line and "A "for arrow to access

these? or putting them on a right click menu ? That would make switching between tools faster than

grabbing them off the quick access bar

Thanks

what about holding the ALT key while drawing a trendline. The arrow will be placed on the last dropped end-point.

Hi, thanks for that I didn't realize it was an option. It makes drawing arrows sooooo much quicker? and of course eliminates

the need for a hot key or right click. Once in place a quick right click to change the colour and I'm there. I was having problems

trying to decide which option to choose to place the arrow head when I modified the line, but this option always puts it at the end.

I never want it anywhere else so that is great.

Occasionally I feel a bit guilty about asking for small details that probably don't seem important when you are trying to get the main

features of the program up and running, but I am realizing that many of the features I want may already exist, it's just a matter of knowing about them....

Don't worry about asking. We can see if we thing it is something that many others would want, would be easy to do, etc.. The ALT key came out of just such a suggestion.
