Describe your request for enhancements!

Here is a collection of random thoughts I had when trying out Linwood (web version) for the first time:

  1. Rename Hand tool to Pan - "Hand" just describes the shape, while "Pan" lets you know its for navigating the page

  2. Replace the fixed tool name with the editable Name field - I was a little unsure what the point of the "Name" was for at first (until I saw that you can add and configure multiple versions of a tool). This might make it a little clearer and save some vertical space

  1. Selection of paths vs shapes should behave the same

    • Shapes require fully enclosing the shape with Select/RectSelect tool
    • Paths only require partially enclosing the object
  2. Add Stroke width to Pen toolbar - Color and width are probably the first thing people want to change when using the pen tool

  1. Pan tool could also work here but then I also need to change it in the file type.
    Additionally other programs (like photopea or adobe) also uses the term Hand tool: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tool-techniques/hand-tool.html

  2. I can add it. But when changing this you don't know the tool type anymore. What do you think?
  3. Yeah, testing if you select a shape is a bit difficult. I'm always helpful for contributions on this type.

In my opinion, if someone goes through the trouble of making a custom tool and naming it, they will roughly remember what it was for anyway (pen vs eraser vs line vs shape etc...). The icon helps with this, too.

Looks fine, I would transform this issue to the second point.
I wouldn't change the name of the hand tool and the shape detection is a long term goal for everyone who wants to contribute
