F2 Should Open Configuration / Pencil Palette and Focus On Annotation

[brianscott]

Hey Alteryx Devs - 

Simple fix that would keep me in the flow sometimes, is if I could hit F2 and get to a place where I could tweaky tweaky the annotation.  I keep on finding myself hitting F2 and then am annoyed that I have all these extra clicks to annotate meaningfully.  Easy fix and you don't have anything else attached to F2.  

Thanks!

edit:  Had wrench palette, needed pencil palette!

Thank you for this idea! In the 2020.1 release, if you hit F2 when a tool is selected you will be able to quickly edit the annotation for that tool. The release notes for 2020.1 are available here.
