Lock Swatch Color Indicies #1195

Open johannesCmayer opened 5 months ago

johannesCmayer commented 5 months ago

I am using drawpile as a whiteboard. It would be useful to have shortcuts for specific colors. Right now I am using the Swatch Color x shortcuts. The problem is that the swatches update their ordering. I.e. the most recently moved color is moved to index 0 in the list of colors. I would like it much better if e.g. 1 was always black 2 was always red, 3 was always green, etc.

One solution could (which would seem like the better solution) be to have similar shortcuts but for the actively selected color palette. A more hacky (but this would still be very useful) would be to have the option to lock the order of the swatches.

This seems like a good idea to me. I'm personally more partial to the second option, since it'd be more useful to me to lock the set of colors I'm currently drawing with than bust out the palette and set it up to whichever current situation, but having a separate set of shortcuts for that doesn't seem off the wall either. Or maybe just let you load a palette into the color swatch, which you could then lock.
