Description Richard Raimund 2016-06-15 12:34:56 UTC

When we test brushes we have to constantly press reset button (at the bottom), due to small test area size.
Reset test area button has shortcut - <spacebar> unfortunately this shortcut almost useless, because it stop working any time we change brush preset or any of its values.
Suggestion is to change <spacebar> shortcut to preferably <ctrl+click> or something similar that will not conflict with anything else in F5 window

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open F5 window
2. Test the brush in the test area, then you are able to reset area by pressing space key (if you didn't change anything in the window before that)
3. Change the brush preset or any of its value
4. Test the brush again, try to hit spacebar, test area would not reset anymore until we manually press the reset button at the bottom.


Expected Results:  
Ctrl+Click (or tap in case of tablets) resets test area - quick and simple

I can confirm this on arch linux with recent build from git master

Comment 2 Richard Raimund 2016-06-15 18:32:44 UTC

I reconsidered my proposal of ctrl+click shortcut, because my Ctrl is remapped, and other users probably having ctrl in old awkward place, so <spacebar> is actually fine and don't require additional click, if it can be fixed without changing the shortcut I'm OK with that.

Heh, that's not a shortcut. The button has focus after you've clicked on it, and that's why pressing the spacebar works: the scratchpad doesn't grab focus when you draw on it. There is no shortcut for clearing the scratchpad at all.
