@Harry thanks - yes that is another way to accomplish it but I'm more referring to situations where you have an object on a different part of the canvas and want to paste a copy of it on a very different part of the canvas. It doesn't make sense in that situation to make a copy and then have to literally drag it over there to use. I like the option in settings to decide if you want it to default to pasting in place, but the ability to use a modifier to get the opposite would be helpful.

@Bitten Hi, Like said above, what you need is the "Path Brush Tool". It's located on the left main tool bar, third icon from the top, then the last of the menu that opens to the right. It's pressure sensitive and seems to be what you want. You may check some other tools of this section.

@marce I will try to replicate this.

@VectorStyler I just tested this on my laptop with my customized settings, the same issue occurred with the toolbar dropping low. When I returned VS to default settings and tried again, it worked correctly. So I'll email you my settings file.

@Raaskot said in Shapes. Switching off display of outline when selected: How do I switch off display of outline when selected, but still maintaining the editing mode? What is the active tool, when you don't want to see the outlines?

@Boldline I added this to the backlog

@oleGraf I opened a bug on this. It is a conflict between modifier keys.
