Not an element suggestion
-
I noticed we can draw two elements via the left and right mouse controls. Means we have two things clicked and can use them both, albeit, not at once.
An interesting thing I also noticed is that we can't use the Property Drawing Tool with right click. I'd very much like to see it possible so I don't have to frequently press the tilda key to open the console. Make things simple. Draw what you want with the left mouse key, then edit it with the Property Drawing tool, when it's selected as the right mouse key.
Voila. Hassle free work.

Only when you click the icon for prop tool. If you have the icon highlighted in blue, then click anywhere in the void, prop tool doesn't come up.

You can left and right click the icon, but when you have it selected, you can't click anywhere in the void and have the prop tool come up. You HAVE to click on the icon for it to work.

that's how PROP tool has worked for years now. A very long time ago, it used to not come up until you clicked somewhere. Now, the PROP menu comes up immediately when you select it. At that point, PROP is "selected" and properties can be drawn like a brush.
The menu shouldn't ever appear when clicking. -
That's the problem, then. It should come up when you have it selected with right-click. For convenience sake instead of losing a few seconds to keep clicking the tool over and over again.
"Why fix what isn't broken?"
Sometimes, things need an upgrade. Just make it impossible to use it as a left-click option anywhere that isn't the prop icon.

I still don't understand the problem. Left and right click behave exactly the same, there is literally no difference. Anything that prop does with left click, it also does it with right click.
The PROP menu always comes up when selected with right click.
There could possibly be some convenience thing that could be done, but I don't understand what. In order to change the properties you are drawing, you have to click on PROP tool again. It wouldn't make sense to have it come up again when clicking on void, because there is no way to detect whether you're clicking on the void or not.
There could also possibly be some bug that I don't understand that explains why you think right click behaves differently. I could see this being the case, because I know at one point PROP didn't work properly with right click. But it seems to work now. -
Think of it this way. I draw diamond with left-click, then have to move my mouse down the application to click on the prop tool. Annoyance.
Say I draw diamond with left-click, then richt-click the diamond when prop is highlighted in blue. BAM! Instant use of the prop tool. Highly convenient. Instantly knows what element it's right-clicked on.
