That would be one possibility. However, in prinicple it would be nice if Krita 
could also draw filled polygons and there is nothing like that for a 
polyline.

Is it possible to have two icons for one tool? I imagine that from a usability 
point of view it is a good idea to have a polyline tool icon and a polygon 
tool icon and not only one that has an option to close the polyline (from a 
coding point of view having an option to close the polylines or not is of 
course trivial). So if there would be two icons that call the same tool, in 
polyline mode or polygon mode, this would solve the problem.
