Double-clicking e.g. Rectangle tool makes the command "sticky", i.e. one may continue creating more rectangles after the first one. This is similar to how format paintbrush operates (see bug 59828). All tools (and not only in Draw) should get a hint like the one implemented in bug 59828.

Re-evaluating the EasyHack in 2022 This enhancement is still relevant. It is suitable for the newcomers.
I'm not able to repro with the following: Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: e37dcb3ca36bb6c23b15757e6e556ad25832398c CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: threaded The rectangle icon in Writer stays sticky after a single click. Double clicking disables it. Any other tools that might be affected?
Draw/Impress is non-sticky, unless double-clicked, while Writer is always sticky. It was an intentional change made a couple of years ago (you may find the respective ticket).
