- Click a tool icon in the toolbar.
- Press a tool's keyboard shortcut when one is listed.
- Press Esc from any drawing tool to return to the Select tool.
- After drawing a shape or frame, Lovision automatically returns you to the Select tool so you can immediately move or resize what you drew. Disable this in Preferences if you prefer to keep the tool active for multiple drawings.
- Holding the tool's shortcut key temporarily activates it in some modes — release to return to the previous tool.
- The Pen tool is the primary toolbar entry for custom vector paths.
