I think we have used a bad word here. By "delete current tool" what we mean is "delete the selected object". This is used in the following scenario:

1. open flameshot gui
2. select a tool (e.g arrow by pressing a)
3. draw something
4. deselect the tool (e.g by clicking on the tool again, or pressing Esc or pressing a)
5. select what you have draw (a dotted rectangle appears around the object)
6. press Del

I change this to Enhancement rather than a bug. Also please feel free to suggest alternative text.

@mmahmoudian oh... I used Flameshot couple of years, but never know that I can delete what I draw not by CTRL+z undo it! Why help message was not displayed for tools too??

Ok. Thank you for this tip! It seems would be useful to have "hand" tool. So people could see it and understand that it is possible to select something when none other tools were selected. eg. when deselecting current tool - activate "hand" tool by default.

1. Implement "hand" tool

2. For backward compatibility "Show 'hand' tool" option could be implemented (enabled by default). So old users could disable it.

3. My proposition for name is: Delete selected drawn object

I just realized the name change should be done before closing the issue. I checked and it can be straightforward thing but the translations would make it complicated for me to change. I would rather wait for other devs to do it or suggest the best way so I can do it myself.

This is what should be done:
Delete current tool -> Delete selected drawn object
