Draw to extend note mode

Would like to see when you had the pencil tool selected you could hold down a single command key to extend the note and release it to go back to the pencil tool. Logic has this and is really helpful.

On PC, it's the Alt key.

If you want to use a single key to switch between drawmode and normal mode, you could use glovepie on a PC,
f.ex.
Key.LeftControl+B=Key.F8 would turn your F8 key into a toggle key for the drawmode.

It does work.
You have to press Alt *before* you click.

Unless you mean after the note has been drawn, in which case you're out of luck and i misinterpreted what you meant!

On my Live 8.2 it just enables velocity when in drawmode after drawing.
*EDIT*
Mkay sorry, didn't know that you had to press alt before drawing the note.

What i do is i have the letter b assigned to the pencil, so it's effectively just 1 keystroke to get out and back in to pencil mode.

That's even easier unless you want to do a set of keystrokes.
Thanks for the hint! You can actually use the altkey to toggle the note length snapping to grid. Nice!
