Ctrl + wheel zooms. Shift + wheel scrolls sideways. While I prefer + and - for zooming, I guess some people would complain if ctrl + wheel got remapped. Preferences -> Input Controlers allows to map mouse wheel events to actions, but I don't see actions for changing brush size. Ctrl + Alt + wheel cycles through gradients. Shift + Alt + whell cycles through patterns. Shift + Ctrl + wheel cycles through brushes. I think the last 3 are quite odd, but 2 keys plus wheel isn't exactly comfortable anyway, so I guess you wouldn't want an often used feature there. -- Thorsten Wilms Thorwil's Creature Illustrations: http://www.printfection.com/thorwil _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
