Flinto 2 1
Flinto version 26 with Sticky Tools and Shape Expand is available now. This version adds a convenient Sticky Tool feature which allows certain tools to be activated with a single click or keypress. We've also added a way of quickly expanding a shapes to the edges of the screen. There is also a huge list of small improvements.
Sticky Tools
The usual way to draw a shape is to click down, drag, and release. There are several modifiers you can use while drawing too.
- Command - disable snap lines
- Option - resize from the layer's origin
- Space - reposition layer
- Shift - constrain proportions

Flinto for Mac 2.1 is available today and adds some great enhancements to the Behavior Designer. But we didn’t stop there, we’ve made a series of great improvements throughout the app.
We call the result we arrived at “Sticky Tools” because now, you if you click once, you can draw a shape without continuing to hold down the mouse button and you can complete the shape with a second click. While drawing a shape, if you press command once, you can toggle snap lines without needing to hold the key down. If you tap space, you can toggle reposition mode, and so on. That means you can easily combine these modifier keys without needing to hold them all down. But everything still works the old way too, you can hold down the mouse or modifier keys if that’s what you’re used to.

Shape Expand
It’s very common to resize shapes so that they hug the edge or corner of a screen. We even allow for starting your shape drawing outside of a screen so that you can easily create the shape in a way that it fits into the edge or corner of a screen easily. In Flinto 26, we’ve added another convenient way to get shapes up against the edge.
Double click a resize handle on a layer and that layer will be expanded to fit to the edge of the screen. It works on the corner handles too. If you hold option while double clicking, it will expand both the side you clicked, and the opposite side.
