Hi, I have an idea/suggestion to implement additional gestures for the Quick Panel.
I feel like the Quick Panel is a brilliant feature especially for drawing on the iPad without a keyboard.
And I feel having these additional gestures would increase the intuitiveness, productivity, and effectiveness of the panel.
I feel like the current "tap to show Quick Panel" is brilliant and should stay. And I'm thinking of this gesture feature to be implemented additionally on top of the existing gesture to summon Quick Panel.
I'm thinking of having these buttons to be able to be selected if you hold the finger and swipe with a finger gesture, on top of the usual Quick Panel implementation.
It's quite important for me to note that having only these buttons to be available for the swipe gestures enables it to be selected with less precision than having all the buttons being selectable. For example, if you want to select
Eraser, you'd just need to swipe left as far and quickly as you like. Or if you want to perform
Clear, you'd only need to swipe down as far or as quickly as you'd like.
Also, I think it'd be required to implement a
Deadzone around the position where you tap the screen, so that when you're just trying to open the Quick Panel by tapping, even tho you might drag it a little, it won't be registered as a swipe as long as it still falls within the deadzone.
I made this mockup to better explain how it might work

And since you could access it from anywhere on the canvas, it'd require a less precise interaction than, say, selecting tools on the topside toolbar. Which I believe would enable a faster more productive workflow, especially without a keyboard.
I believe this drag/swipe function could be implemented on the one-touch, double touch, and triple touch finger gestures. It might also work with the three fingers swipe gesture but I'm not really sure yet. How it works for the multiple taps gestures is to double-tap and hold on to your last tap, and drag your finger towards the tool you want to use.
Here's how I imagine the implementation for the one-touch, double touch, and triple touch finger gestures would be.

I'd really appreciate it if this could be implemented. I think this would greatly increase the productivity of using Artstudio Pro on iPad, especially when you're not using a keyboard.
Lastly, I made this mockup of how it might look like using this feature in action
