I like to detail my notes on the drawing for the guys. So text entry shortcuts for today, has become my "Thing" :-) So my idea for a tweak At the moment Copy text... CTL C pull away with gripper. type in distance to move. Click on text to highlight and modify Click in text box, highlight text to modify. Type new text Proposal Copy text... CTL C pull away with gripper. type in distance to move. Click on text. "Text is automatically highlighted" Start typing. If you wish to keep the same text just use the arrow keys or mouse to deactivate the highlight. Does this make sense to other users or am I just being OCD?

This step is required to differentiate from a short cut key. Tim Copy text... Click on text. Hit Tab Key Start typing.

I'm dreaming of direct typing in a text box, like in Illustrator, Word, Pages ... or even antique Vellum CAD !

Yes. Actually I don't use the "text box" because it is limited to 1 font, 1 size, 1 style and it is a bit awkward to use (not responding instantly)...
