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 We currently use 'P' to switch to the color picker, which is useful in case I am drawing text. the only thing that bothers me is if I remember the color picker tool, I also have to switch back which means more keyboard shortcuts to learn. I would like to ask for a feature where pressing something like "Shift-P" will temporarily switch to the color picker, and after I clicked (and selected) one color it will automatically switch back to the one I had before.
Yes, the colorpicker is one of the tools for which it should be possible to enable it temporarily, just like pan. I seem to remember we had it bound to ctrl-click or something some time ago, but that there were problems with it.
Fixed in trunk. SVN commit 1046077 by rempt: Add color picker and pan mode to freehand tools The freehand tools now have the following extra features: * press space: start pan mode. Pan mode takes until mouse release, it's not necessar to keep space pressed (though it doesn't hurt either). * ctrl-click: pick the color on the current layer. * ctrl-shift-click; pick the color in the image projection. (clicking with mouse buttons 2 or 3 will set the bg color, button 1 will set the foreground color)
This bug is still active on mine... I only recently installed Krita, but ctrl+click only uses the paint tool, and ctrl+shift+click doesn't do anything at all.
