It is about not losing the focus of attention on the object to be manipulated, not everyone likes keyboard shortcuts. In this way you optimize mouse movements, in addition to the fact that the future comes with touch screens, similar to what sketchup for ipad does.

Then, you can have a simple toolbar with at the top of your screen. Normally, FredoSketch selects the objects being moved or rotated when exiting. So you can probably chain with another tool.

Hi, Fredo,
You probably have it on your to-do list already, but remembering and revoking lastly used soft-selection radius would be a great improvement. Now it jumps back to zero when the tool is activated again (and when it was used previously with larger radius). For comparison, Blender always remembers the last value for proportional editing.

Great tool, though. I've been asking ThomThom for years to expand his Vertex Tools with more falloff options, and here we are with FredoSketch!

This is possible. I probably save it at model level

Vertex Tools does a lot more... and I think it has fall-off methods too.
