Hi, this is a small feature I missed from xfce4-screenshooter.

Moving mouse when holding ctrl moves the box rather than expanding it.

See if you like it for your tree. It is fully vibe-coded, but it is small enough that that's ok and it works fine for me in practice.

Hi, do you know Shift mode already? When you hold Shift key, it will enter Annotation mode, then you can not only draw arrows, but also quickly remove selection and redraw a new one by clicking right mouse button once.

Yeah, redrawing works with shift, just that I personally prefer this workflow where we don't have to draw again. I usually use it for small alignment issues (lets say I am screenshotting a tweet). Redrawing means I might misalign the box with the tweet borders again.
