6 years ago I'd really like to be able to redefine the Redo binding.
My kids use Piskel, and we have customised the bindings, so all of the tools are strictly mapped to the first letter of the tool name. Obviously, that involved renaming some tools, but that was easy, and we now have more memorable shortcuts. These bindings also put the pen, eraser and colour picker together in a line, which led me to use the colour picker a lot more often, and makes switching back and forth between the pen and eraser very quick.
In case anyone is interested, this is the best I've managed to come up with so far:
- D : Draw (Doodle) - the main freehand drawing tool
- E : Erase - the eraser tool
- C : Choose (Colour) - the colour picker tool
- L : Line - the line drawing tool
- M : Mirror - the mirrored freehand tool
- F : Fill - the bucket fill tool
- T : Tweak (Tune) - the global fill tool (for tweaking colours)
- R : Rectangle - the rectangle drawing tool
- O : Oval - the oval/ellipse drawing tool
- A : Align - the move layer tool
- S : Select - the image selection tool
- K : Knife - the lasso selection tool
- W : Wand (Wizard) - the magic select tool
- B : Brightness - the lighten/darken tool
- H : Hatch - the cross-hatch, dithering tool
Reserved:
- P : Paint - smudge and mash pixels into adjacent pixels
- G : Gradient- the gradient fill tool
Ideas for ways to improve this are welcome.
Some shortcuts are currently not customizable in Piskel:
Some of them are disabled because they are actually mapped to several keys behind the scenes (Redo is actually ctrl+y and ctrl+shift+z). Some others are disabled for technical reasons.
The goal of this issue is to review all the shortcuts and see if we can make them customizable. If not, the reason should be clearly documented in the code.
