SUMMARY
the editor module in spectacle is very amazing.
This editing module allows me to do almost all the basic tasks necessary.

What I consider to be a bug is the absence of an eraser/eraser integrated into this module.

the "return" function is not relevant when you have gone too far in the modifications. And there is no question of launching a big editor like krita to delete a simple arrow for example.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.  no eraser


OBSERVED RESULT
lake of an eraser

EXPECTED RESULT
implement it

Thanks for the kind words!

What is it you'd like to erase? Areas of the screenshot image, or previously added annotations?

Until a dedicated Erase tool is added, you can use the Select tool and the Delete key to delete annotations. If you hold down the Delete key while clicking with the Select tool, you can simulate what a dedicated Erase tool would do.
