Missing modifier keys functionality

[gingerbeardman]

Thanks for helping me get this built! It's really great.

First thing I did was jump into paint mode and try some drawing.

I notice it is lacking the modifier keys that allowed you to do really cool stuff whilst painting. Such as tighten the selection to only the drawn pixels within the selection.

I do see that double-clicking the tools is there, so you have a good eye for UI details.

Anyway, thought you might like to know.

In some manuals it's listed as "Dragging with modifier keys" and surrounding pages

I am impressed that you are able to quote the HyperCard user's guide chapter and verse!

You're right, though, many of those modifier key behaviors are not implemented. If I ever get a chance to get back into this, I'll put 'em on the to-do list.

I only know it because I'd only recently read it. So it was more short term memory than long term nerdery.

Cheers!
