Description

## Use case

Currently, if you for example want to quickly switch between drawing shapes and adding text, you always have to re-adjust the px value (size) for each tool. This disrupts the workflow.

## Suggested solution

Keep a separate, persistent px value for each tool.

### Possible drawbacks

Some users might not like it. Adding a setting to toggle this would probably be ideal.

### Possible alternatives

None.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing where the shared px value is stored and updated for the shape and text tools, then inspect any existing tests for tool settings. Done means switching tools preserves a separate persistent px value for each tool; clarify whether a user toggle is in scope.
