My only concern with this is it will then be inconstant across users e.g
makes it hard to write training manuals when you have to say "you can do it
this way, or if someone has changed it you can do it this way", it might
not be so bad for something like this but I think we should decided on
somethings and just stick to them.  Giving users heaps of options to tweak
can sometimes make a system harder to use, sometimes the less options the
better.

IMO the way it works currently is good however if we were to ever add right
click context menus to the drawing tools (like Arc or CAD based systems)
then I think this behavior might not be ideal.
