Description Dannel Gutiérrez 2022-07-23 20:47:50 UTC
SUMMARY

All layers are hidden when using the shortcut Shift + Click on the layer visibility icon and Alt + click does not work.

Another thing I don't understand is that the manual says that the shortcut to isolate layers is Alt + Click but in Krita 5.0.6 it's Shift + Click.

Apparently the shortcut does work but it only works on the layer name and not on the layer visibility icon.

Yes, these are two dirrefent shortcuts. Shift+click on the visibility icon hides the layers in a tricky way (it is **not** an isolated mode), and alt+click on the layer name enables isolated mode on that layer.

Oh I see, I thought both were ways to isolate layer, well then Shift + Click is broken because it doesn't work right =(

A suggestion, if you could make the shortcut to isolate layer only work with the visibility icon please, since it honestly confuses many users, I discovered this thanks to another user who tried it by chance, but if he hadn't Commented on this, the truth is, I don't think I discovered it by myself and the most possible thing is that I would have thought that it was broken.

The latter is just a suggestion, nothing more to make it more friendly to new users.

Thank you so much for answering =)
