Feature suggestion: custom shortcuts while drawing

Open lehtis opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Hi

Not bug, but I like to make feature suggestion for better workflow. When drawing with pen, it would be great to have samekind shortcuts like it is in Krita: Pan = SPACE + pen Rotate = SPACE + SHIFT + pen Zoom = SPACE + CTRL + pen Reset in Krita is NUMPAD 5, but I like how it reset now with GP-addon, with click. But same there, it would nice to have custom shortcut also there.

Hi, Lethis Thank you, feedbacks for enhancement are always welcome.

Seems like nice shortcuts (I'm a krita user too, so I relate) ;) .

For Rotate, True that I should add possibility to use a modifier key to let user those as they see fit directly in addon prefs. For the Pan/zoom, it's up to the user to set up those additional shortcuts.

On that matter I don't know how spacebar as a modifier behave, since it's already use as direct function (playback)... this need some testing If it happens to work very well, this could be additional keymaps to activate (don't want to force user to use those as default)

The big issue with shortcuts is always the overlap with native keymap and the ability to customize directly in addons prefs can be tricky).

One thing's for sure. I can't auto-set numpad 5 to reset rotation, since it's clearly overlapping with persp/othro switch navigation keys.

I don't have time to work on this currently. I'll keep this around as a note.

Happy blending.
