Symbolism Chooser

Here's a cool way (thanks to Mordy Golding, former Adobe Illustrator Product Manager) to switch Symbolism tools on the fly, without using the Toolbox. Just press Control-Option as you click-and-hold (PC: Alt-Right-click-and-hold) with the Symbolism tool you're using, and all the Symbolism tools will appear in a circle. Move toward the tool you want until the cursor changes, release, and start using the new tool.
