Make brush/pick/erase easier #109

Closed ghost closed 5 years ago

ghost commented 5 years ago

When drawing sprite or tile with transparent pixels, I switch a lot between brush, pick and eraser tools.

It would be more productive to limit tool switch by either:

having left click for brush, right click for erase, ctrl+left click for pick.
having left click for brush, right click for pick, making transparent pixel pickable.

Yeah I have to admit I've basically never used right click for drawing with the background colour... I think having some kind of combo box with a list of options for right click would be good. Oh, and it should default to right click being erase.

Ctrl+left click to pick is an interesting idea, and one that would solve #90.

There is a bit of conflict here... if I make this apply for all tools, it breaks the fix for #75. So this will only apply when the pen tool is selected, which makes more sense to me anyway.

There will be a setting to control this in the next release:

There are three options:
