[Feature request] Add freehand drawing and a way to exit selection mode

[REALERvolker1]

Hey there! I think this project has lots of potential.

Are there any plans to add freehand drawing? It is my main use case for swappy.

Also, when I select an area in the editor, I can't deselect. Am I missing something here?

Another suggestion would be to add a GTK color picker to the bottom color panel to choose a custom color.

Great job!

Thank you for your suggestions, constructive feedback is always appreciated.

As I see, there are several requests

• freehand drawing - that makes sense, i Will have a look
• selection - selection is currently only half implemented. Crop and text can be active (=selected), but the others don't have that concept. I'm future i wanted everything to be selectible and editable. Therefore a "select nothing" button is required, will implement that
• colour selection: I'm not sure about that .. the intention was to have a limited selection of attributes (5 colours, 3 sizes) to keep things simple. I'm not sure about free colour selection atm...

imo adding a GtkColorChooser widget would not complicate anything, and in fact would make it much easier to use. It does not hurt the UX of Swappy, for example.
