## Tips and tricks
|
|
|
|
* Draw arrows:
|
|
|
|
Intersect two lines and curve the second thanks to the `Ctrl` key.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Duplicate an element:
|
|
|
|
Hold the `Shift` key while starting moving.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* Insertable images:
|
|
|
|
Add your images (jpeg, png, svg) to `~/.local/share/drawOnYourScreen/images/`.
|
|
|
|
* Eraser and SVG:
|
|
|
|
There is no eraser in SVG so when you export elements made with the eraser to a SVG file, they are colored with the background color, transparent if it is disabled. See `“Add a drawing background”` or edit the SVG file afterwards.
|
|
|
|
* Screenshot Tool extension:
|
|
|
|
[Screenshot Tool](https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1112/screenshot-tool/) is a convenient extension to “create, copy, store and upload screenshots”. In order to select a screenshoot area with your pointer while keeping the drawing in place, you need first to tell DrawOnYourScreen to ungrab the pointer (`Ctrl + Super + Alt + D`).
