Feature request: Select and drop tiles faster #197

Open maxamine opened 8 years ago

maxamine commented 8 years ago

it would be very useful if the editor allows to select and drop tiles faster using the arrow buttons after selecting a tile. in other words, in map editor, when we select a tile in tileset view in order to put it on the map, we can use the arrows to select tiles around it without having to select each tile using the mouse. See the screenshots below.

The idea is good, but the arrow buttons are used to move the scrolling bars, so if this behavior is implemented the old one would have to be changed, maybe, or maybe not...

You could add a modifier (Alt or something)

Diarandor commented 7 years ago

I agree, using a modifier is probably the best idea (I think it is less annoying than pressing two times the same arrow very fast).

maxamine commented 7 years ago

Diarandor; i'm not sur about what you said, actually, if i click on arrows the scrolling bars doesn't move. Oclero; what do you mean by ''add a modifier''? it means using alt+arrows?

Diarandor commented 7 years ago

Yes, oclero means "Alt + arrows". If the focus is in the left box (where the tiles are), then the scrolling bars of that part are moved with the arrows. That is why it may be convenient either to add the key modifier; although maybe just changing the current behavior for the new one could be ok.
