Hey, first off — I LOVE this feature! 🔥 💯 🔥

Secondly, Im trying FigJam out on an iPad with the pen and would really need a eraser tool to be able to quickly remove scribbles. Preferably enabled with a modifier key.

My thinking is;

  1. Have the pen selected
  2. Press modifier key (maybe alt) to activate eraser
  3. Release modifier key and go back to pen tool

Well delete object maybe an overkill. Since this is free form drawing, we could have something in the whole drawing that may just need tinkering/minor modification eg: sometimes the lines overshoot etc, we don’t want to delete the whole line…just a part of it.

I’d love to use this in meetings and for ideation but without the ability to delete with my pen is pretty much unusable.

I must say the lack of an Eraser tool or at least a DELETE button makes it unusable with Pencil.
I do use Surface Pro, I like to draw with the keyboard detached. This is just impossible to not have Erase or Delete button anywhere (even in the context menu)…

Figjam eraser really is sad. We need a real eraser tool like in Photoshop, Procreate or Paper app.. what a sad way to make a drawing tool without an eraser… :(
