Add a Text Tool [suggestion]

I have a feature suggestion to add a text tool. Here's an idea how it would work:

  • When you click the Text tool, a caret appears where your cursor hovers over the canvas.
  • Above the pixel size selection, there is a font drop down and a font size slider.
  • The color for the text used is the color you have most recently used.
  • You're free to upload your own fonts or use a selection of fonts currently available.
  • Once you have selected your desired font and size you can click anywhere on the canvas to place your text.
  • It creates the text on a new layer so the user can easily move it.
