  • Dropshare Zone: New option to show upload zone when wiggling cursor while dragging a file.

    • Shortcuts: Annotation tools in the editor now have keyboard shortcuts, so you can switch tools and work faster.

    • Arrow as Line: In the arrow tool’s configuration you can turn off the arrowhead to draw a straight line instead.
    • Rectangle Cross: Rectangles can show an optional diagonal cross (corner to corner), handy for marking an area to remove or similar.
    • Text: Improved text annotation (placement, styling, and editing in line with the rest of the editor).
    • Enumeration: Added enumeration tool to create numbered circles to highlight important areas in a screenshot.
    • Marker: Added marker tool to create a semi-transparent text marker on a screenshot.

Improvements
