GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 142103
Keyboard short cuts & anchoring onto layers
Last modified: 2004-05-08 12:27:00 UTC
As in former versions I wanted to assign key "k" for gamma-curves, "h" for hue-saturation, "f" for flatten and so on. Since version 2.0 I have to enable dynamic keybindings and its saving in the options dialog. This does only works for some but not all the functions. I reported it a while ago and got an answer to enable it in the options dialog, which I already did. It´s hard to work fast, while I have to open two sub-menues just to select an alpha-border of a layer. I now also have to anchor a floating selection to a layer by clicking on a button in the layer-dialog, instead of clicking on the selection. Why is that practical? Please make it configurable or remove these new features. Thanks!
Hi, Mnemonics, unfortunatelly, do conflict with dynamic shortcuts, in a way that dynamic shortcuts, as of GIMP 2, are only usable with "shift" or "ctrl" combinations, with a few exceptions. However, if one needs more permanent short-cuts, you can edit by hand your ~/gimp-2.0/menurc - go there now and assing the keys you need. We should, however, think of a better way for dynamic shortcuts to work in the future - I think that having a hot-key that would make the next key combination to be assigned to a menu item regardless of mnemonics would be fine. Examble: open <image>edit menu, hover over "stroke" press <f2>(the hotkey), and them "S".
Why can't you anchor a floating selection the old way any longer? Works for me. The mnemonics colliding with the accelerators is handled in bug #120034. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 120034 ***
Now this really helps!
