currently when I make a screenshot and want to annotate it, after selecting a using the tool (arrow, text...), the program always changes to the default state=selection tool.

I think the more standart behaviour is to keep the selected tool activ till I change tool manually (e.g. I can drow several arrows in a row without the need to activate the arrow each and every time.
What do you think?
