Make Grease pencil mirror Real time

Instead of updating the stroke mirror only after you lift the pen or any other device you use to draw, make it real time as in other mirroring tools in other drawing packages

Hey, I found this thread looking for the same solution. I figured out a workaround for tracking your changes in real time, although sadly it will be forced to be a "shadow" created through an effect, but it works well for what you're trying to achieve.

Add the shadow effect, set the offset X and Y to 0px, then set scale X to -1.
This will flip the shadow over the x axis and it will appear in real time as your draw. Then also add the mirror modifier, and disable the shadow when done.

thanks for the replies, I think the 3d drawing experience becomes more intuitive when it updates real-time,im not tech savvy enough to give technical solutions on how to make it work under the hood...i can provide real-life examples where this becomes useful

Modifier works as modifier: it reduces calculations. But for mirror there can be an exception
