Though following up a selection with a fill is a common operation, only two of the selection tools allow the color brightness adjustment hotkeys to work. These are the Rectangle and Ellipse Select tools. Tools which do not respond to the hotkeys include Select by Brush, Polygon, Outline, Contiguous Area, Similar Colors, and Path. Ironically, the 'Fill with Background/Foreground/Pattern' keyboard shortcuts work okay for all of the selection tools. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Activate any of the listed 'unresponsive' selection tools 2. Make a selection (or not) 3. Attempt to activate either the 'Brighter FGcolor' or 'Darker FGcolor' shortcuts. Actual Results: Nothing happens; The FGcolor remains the same. Expected Results: The FGcolor changes accordingly Keyboard shortcuts for adjusting FGcolor brightness are changed from their default K/L to keypad End/Home. They operate as expected when using text, brush, multibrush, bucketfill, gradient fill, and all shape drawing tools
Hi, Thanks for your report. I can confirm this bug in Krita 2.7 alpha. The shortcuts: make brush color darker (K) Make brush color lighter (L) Become unresponsive when any of the following selection tool methods are selected. Select by Brush, Select an area by its Outline, Select a Contiguous Area of colors, Select Similar Colors, and Select and area of the image with Path. In my version shortcuts does work using "Select a Polygonal region"
I think we could move the action from the tool to the view (or some plugin). Should be useful globally.
