Typewriter Tool v. Text Box
Do you want to just drop in a line of Text w/o having a text box? Maybe you have non-fillable form you need to fill out.
Add the Typewriter tool to your Text tool bar. Ⓐ
It’s not a default tool. You’ll have to turn it on Tools>Toolbars>Customize. Highlight your Text tool bar and put a check in the box next to Typewriter.
Don’t forget to save your Profile afterwards.This is something I tell all our staff to do when I go through their initial get to know Bluebeam session.

This is a great tip Doug! I like to use the typewriter tool for filling out “non-fillable” forms.
Bonus trick – you can really make your completed forms look neat by using the align tool to get all of your entries lined up.
Extra Bonus Trick – You can activate the typewriter tool with a single stroke of the “w” key.

Good info Doug!
One more thing to add, now Text Boxes can turn into a Callout tool with adding leader lines, those leader lines cannot be added to the Typewriter tool.
