Built-in text tool for Grease Pencil's Draw Mode
Ye, I wonder if the Grease Pencil team plans to add a built-in text input tool to Draw Mode.I feel this is a really important feature—even with the Annotation exists,text tool remains irreplaceable.

Why not create a tool from Geometry nodes?You can find a video on how to create a tool from Geometry Nodes. To do this, connect the string socket from the string to Curves node to the output of the node group, and then connect the geometry socket (instances) to the Realize instances node and then connect the Curves To Grease Pencil node from the Realize Instances node and connect it from the Curves To Grease node Pencil to the input of the node group and then it should work and get the desired result for you.
Sorry, I really hate to say this, but I don't know how to use Geometry Nodes. Besides, surely I wouldn't have to set up a Geometry Node setup every single time I want to type something, right? That would be completely unreasonable.It 's like when you go to a restaurant to have a meal and the restaurant tells you that you must learn to cook before you can eat.
The addition of text functionality will definitely attract more artists to Blender. I’m thrilled to see Blender narrowing the gap with other commercial software—keep up the great work, Blender! I can't code, so this is the only way I can show my support.
