Bug Description

Feature request:

When I right-click on a object/path, there should be an option saying "Use default". That would cause the same style being aplied next time I drawed an object of same type. Also this would only being effectively as setting "Create new objects with: Last used style".
That makes it possible for me to force style of next object drawed.

Or: Fill and Stroke dialog box could be possible to alter also when no object is selected, and those choices would apply to next object I draw.

Thanks

About the summary:
"Select style for preceeding object" - shouldn't this be changed into something like "Select style preceding to object creation" or "Select style for next object"?

Not sure I understand correctly, could be one of:

a) "Use default" would set the style of the currently selected object to the default style that would be used at this time for the next newly created object of the same type (i.e. either the globally last used style, or the tool's own style).

b) "Use as default" would change the tool preference setting of the currently selected object type to 'Use tool's own style' and set this tool style to the style of the current selected object.

c) "Use as default" would change the globally 'last used style' to the style of the currently selected object.

Note: AFAIU the last used style is not saved separately for each tool: it is a global style setting (group 'id="desktop"' in 'preferences.xml') which is queried by every tool that uses 'Last style used'.
