Move tool #52

Open Viza74 opened 6 years ago

Viza74 commented 6 years ago

Basically what the brush tool does now, but after the selection it clears the selected rectangle. So far almost every time I used the brush tool I just wanted to move around something (to make room for something else), and it is annoying that I have to "clean up" the original gfx manually.

Could be even a mode for the brush tool (like ctrl while selecting), but probably more clera for the users if it is a separete tool?

Holding down a modifier key while dragging around the brush would be awesome, indeed. I have use for this about once per five minutes currently :)

Btw let's specify what the modifier key is. So that I can use the right from the start. ALT?

In general, I am against using CTRL for anything because CTR+left-click is right click on a Macbook laptop.

Esshahn commented 5 years ago

Yes I think that's our only option actually.

SHIFT is in use a straight lines CONTROL is out completely COMMAND is out

So likely ALT is the best candidate for this, right

nurpax commented 5 years ago

ALT is used for "pick char under cursor", even in BRUSH mode.

Is pick-char-under-cursor needed in the brush tool mode? Maybe not?

Why is COMMAND out?
