Color Palettes, Pie Menus, Radical control, Stickers

Thanks:

Before anything, a huge thanks to all the developers and contributors to this project. I tried many handwriting apps and Rnote is the best by far. It really blew my mind how you made the app simple, yet fulfilling to all needs. Please continue and I'm rooting for you!

Color Palettes:

The ability to create multiple named color palettes is useful for assigning a palette for each type of notes you take.

Pie Menus:

I really think integrating pie menus into the app will significantly increase productivity. Having to navigate up repeatedly to change color can be avoided by assigning a hotkey for a color palette pie menu.

Radical Control:

Radical control over stroke size is another idea.
Most of the time I use unified stroke sizes so a pie menu for this would be more useful most of the time.
Also, I don't know if it's my bad, but I can't seem to assign more than 3 stroke sizes to the left toolbar or add more colors to the top palette.

Stickers:

I personally have some small drawings that I frequently use across my notes, and I think most people do, so turning these drawings into reusable stickers is very useful because right now, I manually duplicate them each time I need to reuse them.

I'm looking forward to seeing my suggestions get officially implemented into the app everyone so can benefit.
That's all I can think of right now, so good luck!

There is a great standalone pie menu launcher called kando (open source and crossplattform), so all we would need are keyboard shortcuts for colors, brushsizes etc.
I currently use it with my pen display and im calling the pie menu with a small macro keypad taped to the pen-display.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I hope they assign the keyboard shortcuts soon.

why another application? kando is more like a launcher
I think it will be something like krita's right click menu. only application specific ??

BTW xournal++ already implemented something like that : floating-toolbar

moreover rather than pie menu ... there is a need of cut paste and delete options while selecting. it is very common ... (currently to delete selection .. you need to move to the sidebar)
