I find this annoying too. We simply have too much modifiers or something :) And I personally dont use the linedraw too much, though I need it sometimes. But I find the linedraw preview that always is on the way pretty annoying.. > A small question, why don't we use the AltGr button? Most people use mouse with their right hand and thus have the left hand on the keyboard.. And AltGr is pretty far.. But I am left handed, so I'm all for this :) (no, I dont use the mouse in my left hand though.. I can control 2 pointer-devices simultaneously, navigating menus is IMHO easier with the mouse than with the tablet pen :) We also have Space if we need something. On Photoshop it is used for panning, but Gimp has mouse2 for that. Could Space be a toggle after all for the togglable tools? I know we had a talk about this a while back, and we agreed that Shift is a "natural" way to "shift" things.. But it is clearly conflicting at the moment.. I would be just happy to control the tool toggles (erase/antierase, fg/bg fill, blur/sharpen, dodge/burn) with SPACE. Thoughts?
