(I guess using only modifiers requires the feature to use input manager instead of simple shortcuts, and using a modifier is a huge thing and decision to make, but I think it could be worth it. These, or a bit more advanced shortcuts (ALT+click) could make casual users accidentally find out about it - they already use color picker and brush size change just playing with the program. Maybe SPACE, as you can pan many other ways. Changing the default shortcut - for me this easily could be just ALT, as CTRL and SHIFT already serve functions of similar usefulness.I have a couple of ideas how this feature could be made more recognized and enhanced: What I mean, we have a wonderous feature in krita, that probably gives us advantage over other painting apps, but even regular users rarely know about it, as it is so hidden as it can be. I found it only by accident, as the only way to get to know about it, is to find it in keyboard shortcuts in settings or accidentally pressing shift + i (and that requires a lot of luck ) So basically “show color selector” is the solution, as you can customize size, selector type, and have it pop up only when needed (it inherits the setting you would set in the docker).īut I notice that nobody really uses it/knows about it. Popup on RMB is great, but often too small for precise pick, and forces the user to use triangle picker. Floating docker on the other hand, covers a part of screen, and might cause troubles with desktop. It’s such a basic thing for me, and I do it so often, many times before I get the right color, that it’s kind of tiring, especially with a large tablet. The first one requires you to do big movements with your hand on every change in color. Why I think it’s better than its alternatives - default docker and RMB popup? Note that this feature is already in krita, probably for years. For those who have never seen it I, made a GIF. Basically it allows the user to open popup with color selector wherever the cursor is with just one keyboard shortcut (default shift+ i). Probably one of my favorite features in krita is called “show color selector”.
