  - Preventing me from switching to it: once a tool (ie. pencil) is used for a stroke, it reverts back to mouse cursor (I'd rather have it stay as pencil and hit 1 for it to switch to a cursor)

There is a little lock icon next to the drawing tools which enables you to lock a tool, so it won't revert back.

Fun fact: I added this to Excalidraw for this exact reason! It was super annoying.
