# Quick Draw

![screenshot](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jugale/quickdraw/master/AppStore/Screenshot%201.png)

Do you need a quick, easy and unobtrusive way to highlight content while screencasting?

Rather than circling your mouse around wildly, try QuickDraw!

When QuickDraw is active, you can draw lines, arrows, rectangle and circles over other windows on your screen. Press the escape key to clear the drawing, and press it again to jump right back to where you were without missing a beat!

### Usage

Keyboard Shortcuts

```

Key/s       Function

~~~~~       ~~~~~~~~

12345       Select colours 1 to 5

L           Line mode - hold Shift while drawing for straight lines

A           Arrow mode - hold Shift while drawing for straight arrows

R           Rectangle mode

C           Circle mode

⌘C          Copy screenshot to Clipboard (permissions may be requested the first time)

⌘S          Save a screenshot to Finder

⌘Z          Undo

Space       Hold whilst drawing to adjust object position

⌫           Backspace to delete all drawings below the mouse

/           Show or hide the startup message (persisted)

⌥/          Show or hide the toolbar (persisted)

ESC         Clear all drawings. Press again to hide Quick Draw

```

## Motivation

1. I  mentor an online Swift course and would like a quick, easy and unobtrusive way to highlight and describe code during video calls

2. I would like to increase my experience in macOS development (I am an iOS developer)

3. I would like to experiment with creating a simple architecture that has no third party dependencies
