Feature request: do not place selected items in the top-left corner as soon as they are selected.

Select the shape, and then place it with a click (is like most diagram software works, and as people is used too).

You can drag them out of the toolbox directly to the position you'd like.

Holding the mouse down is needless strain on the hand. I don't do much drawing on the computer but when I do my mouse hand can start hurting after 15 minutes. Any little bit of relief is welcome. Both methods can be supported at the same time.

I agree. I think so many people are used to drawing programs that work this way (Photoshop, Illustrator, all the way back to MacDraw), that it would be nice to at least have it be a preferences option or something.

However, that's more for the basic geometric shapes. For the more template-like shapes (iPhone screen, etc.) creating it first makes more sense.
