This applies mainly to the situation when I am using an Apple Pencil.
Let’s say I want to resize and reposition an object (image, shape or element).
Right now, when a tool like the pen or the marker is selected, I have to tap and hold the object with my finger to bring up the edit menu. Then I have to select "Edit" to select the object and make it editable.
Or I have to switch to the image, shape or element tool in the toolbar. Then I can tap the object with my pencil (or finger) to resize it or to drag it around. If I want to, for example, crop the image, then I need to tap it another time to bring up edit menu.

That’s a lot of tapping and changing tools. I think this could be a bit faster and easier.

Just let me tap an object with my finger to select it regardless of the tool I am using at the moment. Also bring the edit menu up immediately when an object gets selected. That’s the way Apple’s Pages does it.

When using your fingers to draw instead of the pencil, you could just touch an object with two fingers to select it.
