The Info Tool Polygonal Area is a helpful tool ... but I like to ask for additional options ;-)

Yes, the polygonal area makes absolute sense but many times you have just to check a square or rectangle area!

It would be nice and time (click) saving if we could use a "Strg Key" to limit the polygonal area to just a rectangle area.
Two mouse clicks for a rectangle area and done ;-)

In addition to that it would be nice to have the possibility to count up or down a couple areas.
E.g. I measure area 1 plus area 2 or area 1 minus area 2 ...
Maybe just with an additional keystroke like + or -

Meanwhile most shapes have an area property.
And there is a summed area property.

A differential area requires the order of things.
Area 1 minus area 2 or area 2 minus area 1 ... and more of this.

The area of a square or rectangle area only indicated by 2 corners is definitely an interesting feature.
For now I draw a rectangle and look at the Property Editor before undoing it. ;-)
