In #inkscape

Should the text tool's memory for font, size, color etc be attached to each different method of text instead of using a single global?

For example should it remember a different font/size for text-on-path, compared to text-in-rect, compared to text-in-shape and compared to regular text lines?

@doctormo I see value in not scattering settings into 4 non-obvious presets. I can see many quirks like setting a slightly different text size in ONE of them and never understand how it got there.

Unless there is a well known underlying logic I'd go for consistency and not mess around with values by default.

@mray @doctormo this. I feel like having four different states would most likely get me to fight the system to try to set them all to the same until they go out of sync again.

I think having them all be synced would be annoying once a year, but at least it is highly predictable, intuitive and easy to explain and tbh what you need most of the time.

Much more useful is a way to quickly copy a style and paste it on another element or text selection.
