Description Tyson Tan 2021-09-08 16:10:50 UTC
In Krita's document, Bezier Curve Tool has a few Ctrl modifier functions:
https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/tools/path.html

However, Ctrl will always trigger color picker under Bezier Curve Tool at the moment, so their functions are broken.
Comment 1 tomtomtomreportingin 2021-09-08 16:25:57 UTC
I don't get the color picker if I use Ctrl while dragging, and the manual only states using Ctrl while dragging. However, I don't notice any difference in functionality while holding Ctrl while dragging... maybe the manual is outdated in that respect?
Comment 2 Tyson Tan 2021-09-08 16:34:21 UTC
Not only that, the shortcut to delete a control point is now "Backspace" instead of "Del" mentioned in the manual. I think either our vector tools as a whole needs a closer look, or our documentation needs major updating at that part.

Wolthera, can you check?

Pushed by woltherav into branch 'master'.

Update path tool page.

Some of this hadn't been updated in ages, but part of the problem is
also that the canvas input settings and tool functionality interaction
isn't ideal.
