Permanent pixel by pixel mode #582

Open CM630 opened 1 month ago

CM630 commented 1 month ago

LazPaint works in pixel to pixel mode when Ctrl is pressed (drawing happens in a single pixel (if pencil size is set to 1 px) with maximum opacity from the first click; pasting a selection happens on the borders of the pixels, not between them; the ruber cliears a single pixel only (is size is set to 1 px), etc. It would be useful if switching to permanent pixel by pixel mode can be enabled, so the user would not need to hold the Ctrl key all the time.

Thanks for the suggestion. I imagine that the simplest way would be to add an item in one of the following menus: either Tools (as first item) or Edit or View (next to pixel grid option).

The “Tools” menu section seems like a better place than “Edit” or “View”. Maybe a button in the tools panel will be a good idea and it will be consistent with the selector in the “Tools” menu section.
