When you use a hotkey to open a panel, a small HUD notification appears briefly that says the name of the panel. It would be useful if this happened when you switch between tools with hotkeys as well, especially in fullscreen mode where the toolbar is not visible. That way you could easily tell which tool you are switching to without having to verify it by going out of full screen and looking at the toolbar.

I also noticed that a HUD notification does appear when you switch the drawing mode with a hotkey (I cycle between freehand and line a lot), but it always says "freehand" instead of saying the mode you are switching to, like "Line." Perhaps a minor bug there, it would be nice if it said the name of the specific mode you are switching to.

Bumping this little quality of life request as it seems like an update is being iterated on! This would help me stay in full screen more while working, I hope you will consider it! Thanks!

Wow, just tried this out. Super nice! really makes full screen something you can stay in for longer when using hotkeys to switch tools! It seems like switching drawing modes still always shows "freehand" instead of the drawing mode you are switching to though. A minor issue that would be nice to have! Thank you for this!
