The Editor Widget provides the user functionality to draw lines and polygons. It would be such a more well rounded tool if it was given a toggle that allowed the measurements tooltips to be displayed as users drew or modified the features.

Line: From start point user draws a single end point. Pop-up measure tooltip displays the distance from start to end converted into whatever calculation the user has chosen (i.e. km, miles, ft, etc.). In multiple vertices line features at draw the newest segment measure along with total line distance are displayed. At editing the same segment and total measures can be displayed and segment is determined by original drawing direction of the feature.

Polygons (all geometric shapes): From center user expands the circle/triangle or other shape outward. Pop-up measure tooltip displays the distance from center to the edge (radius) along with the polygon area (sq) again all based off user selectable measurements

Polygon (freehand): As user draws the tooltip displays the polygon area (sq) for the feature. Not sure a use case for radius from an interpolated center makes sense or is relevant so if someone can present that use case in comments for justification that'd be great.
