Description Thomas Zander 2006-11-30 14:14:14 UTC 
Version:           1.6.1 (using KDE 3.5.5, Kubuntu (edgy) 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3)
Compiler:          Target: x86_64-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.15-26-amd64-generic

The way to switch between fg/bg colors is to click on the arrows next to the widget that shows both these colors.
A second way is to middle-click anywhere on the widget (but double middle click unfortunately opens the color dialog).

My wish is that an action is added that allows me to switch between fg/bg using a key.  I would suggest the 'x' key for that :)

you can also middle-click on the canvas (it works only with the pen tool, it needs to be "spread" in krita 2.0)

> I would suggest the 'x' key for that :)

this is a particularly good as idea as many people are already familiar with this behaviour from Adobe Photoshop and the GNU Image Manipulation Program.  

X to swap foreground and background
D to reset to black and white
