Hi, well, we already agreed that the modifier keys need some rework. I volunteer to do the job, but I don't want to start hacking before we have discussed the issue and found a suitable solution. So, to start the discussion, here's a list of the current state. Many thanks to Sven Riedel who helped to create this list: All Selection tools: on click: <Shift> add <Ctrl> subtract <Shift>+<Ctrl> intersect <Alt> move Rectangular / Elliptical Select: on drag: <Shift> square / circle <Ctrl> from center <Alt> [unused] Free Select: [ no modifiers used ] Fuzzy Select: [ no modifiers used ] Bezier Select: [ we need to replace the intersect cursor here! ] on point: <Shift> move tangent <Ctrl> move point <Alt> move all points Intelligent Scissors: [ cursors are broken here? ] [ no modifiers used ] Move: <Shift> move current layer <Alt> move Selection Magnify: <Shift> zoom out Crop & Resize: <Ctrl> toggle Crop/Resize <Alt> toggle Allow Enlarge Flip: <Ctrl> toggle horizontal/vertical Text: [ no modifiers used ] Color Picker: [ no modifiers used ] Bucket Fill: <Ctrl> toggle FG/BG Color Fill Blend: <Shift> 15 degrees steps <Ctrl> horizontal <Alt> vertical <Ctrl>+<Alt> diagonal (45 degress) Pencil: <Shift> line draw <Shift>+<Ctrl> horizontal line draw <Shift>+<Alt> vertical line draw <Shift>+<Ctrl>+<Alt> diagonal line draw <Ctrl> pick FG color <Alt> pick BG color Paintbrush: <Shift> line draw <Shift>+<Ctrl> horizontal line draw <Shift>+<Alt> vertical line draw <Shift>+<Ctrl>+<Alt> diagonal line draw <Ctrl> pick FG color <Alt> pick BG color Eraser: <Shift> line draw <Shift>+<Ctrl> horizontal line draw <Shift>+<Alt> vertical line draw <Shift>+<Ctrl>+<Alt> diagonal line draw <Ctrl> toggle anti erase Airbrush: <Shift> line draw <Shift>+<Ctrl> horizontal line draw <Shift>+<Alt> vertical line draw <Shift>+<Ctrl>+<Alt> diagonal line draw <Ctrl> pick FG color <Alt> pick BG color Clone Tool: <Shift> line draw [ no preview ] <Ctrl> select source Convolver: <Shift> line draw <Shift>+<Ctrl> horizontal line draw <Shift>+<Alt> vertical line draw <Shift>+<Ctrl>+<Alt> diagonal line draw <Ctrl> toggle blur/sharpen [ collides with line draw ] Ink: <Alt> perfect movement (?) Dodge or Burn: <Shift> line draw <Shift>+<Ctrl> horizontal line draw <Shift>+<Alt> vertical line draw <Shift>+<Ctrl>+<Alt> diagonal line draw <Ctrl> toggle dodge/burn Smudge: <Shift> line draw <Shift>+<Ctrl> horizontal line draw <Shift>+<Alt> vertical line draw <Shift>+<Ctrl>+<Alt> diagonal line draw Measure: on point: <Shift> add point <Ctrl> add horizontal guide <Alt> add vertical guide on drag: <Ctrl> horizontal movement <Alt> vertical movement <Ctrl>+<Alt> diagonal movement What a perfect mess!! Suggestions on how to make this useful and consistent are welcome... Also, please inform me if this is list is wrong or incomplete. Salut, Sven
