Description DrSlony 2014-07-04 12:57:03 UTC

I find the Mouse Mark effect very useful, but it uses a hard-coded shortcut Shift+Meta to leave the trail. We can't change it.
So now when I use any other shortcut combination that starts with Shift+Meta this starts drawing! Very annoying.

Reproducible: Always

As a potential solution we could make the modifiers configurable (similar to the Track Mouse effect).
