alan@xxxxxxxxxxx (2001-02-02 at 2015.41 -0800): > Any chance of this technology becoming more widespread throughout the gimp? Please try all the tools and make a list of the ones that do nothing with Ctrl and / or Shift and / or Alt (before clicking / after clicking, like with Circle selection). Advice: set pointer to cross and icon, that way it gives hints about what is happening (or will if you click). Also keep open the Tool Options dialog, and watch the buttons change. Tab also does magic when over an image (hit again to get the volunteer back from backstag... err... nimbo). I think you will be suprised, basic ops are there. Yes, there are some things that would be nice to have in addition to current ones, but I guess that the basics we have are plainly ignored, and thus people say "Gimp lacks all nice functions" when the theme is "Gimp lacks some nice functions" (and has some that PS does not have, like MB2 scrolling, I think). BTW, the zoom / magnify thing appeared some mails ago (hold Ctrl to swap mode, Gimp CVS 1.2). :] Oops, late, I will read the doc after sleeping. GSR
