Brushes - Githubissues

From an old iLKke email:

[...] traditionally in pixel programs, once you pick a brush you can do 
everything as you would with a normal "pen-point". This would be ideal, but if 
it is much more complicated, then you can just make a different behaviour using 
similar code to current selections.

Here is the process of using a brush"
-You click the brush tool icon.
-You draw a rectangle on the screen.
-The moment you let go of the mouse, the brush is picked and you are moving it 
with your mouse. The bg color is transparent. If you started to pick the brush 
with right mouse button, then the brush will be cut from the image, and the 
rectangle is filled with bg color (or transparent color, if it is on a layer)
-Now you can click anywhere to paste the brush, or you can draw with it, etc.

It replaces the following steps:
-click selection button
-draw rectangle
-press ctrl-c [copy] (or ctrl-x[cut])
-press ctrl-v [paste]
-move selection
-press enter
-press ctr-d [deselect]

So it is not as flexible as selections, but is much quicker to use for everyday 
manipulation.
