tor: you reminded me of a feature which would GREATLY improve the functionality of gimp: moving through the active palette's colors with shortcut keys. i'll create a patch for it at the first opportunity (after learning how to add menu items). its such a uber-useful and simple feature i'm surprised it wasn't implemented LOOOONG ago. the doc i've written: in 'navigation' submenu: '[' ']' prev/next color in palette '{' '}' prev/next gradient sample * ',' '.' prev/next brush '<' '>' prev/next pattern { other prev/next items here } * gradient sample number should be customizable. and/or movement along gradient should have acceleration like spinbuttons, but i don't know if that's doable.
