Post From: No way to assign hotkey for "Modify Text"

Hello,

Was this ever added?

I am in fact searching for ways to improve my chart annotation skills.
I am spoiled by modern tools that let me type "r" and draw a rectangle, move it with the keyboard left one candle or up one tick, click any side of it and drag it or snap it by using ctrl + drag to a candle, double click the object and simply type text and then drag the text where I want inside or outside the box or use a floating menu to align the text, change the font, colors, lines. I am also used to having the mouse identify what it is going to do before I click (i.e. showing me a double horizontal arrow if it will allow me to move left or right at a border or a diagonal border at a corner showing me I will be moving both dimensions simultaneously).

I was specifically looking for a way to move an extended rectangle a couple candles to the right without changing the height of the rectangle.
I was hoping to find a keyboard shortcut, allowing me to use the arrow keys perhaps to move the rectangle up, down, left or right, after clicking the rectangle to select it. Would be nice if hitting enter would let me type text as well, so I wondered perhaps how this had been implemented back in 2015?

Any thoughts?

Thank you.
