Version: svn trunk OS: Linux When you are painting something with, e.g. Gradient tool, Brush tool or whatever you should be able to change your mind and press Esc. This must cancel your stroke and leave the tool you were using selected. Reproducible: Sometimes
I think we're hitting a problem with flake here, where Esc means "switch to default tool".
We can hijack Esc in our canvas -- that should work for this purpose.
Note: users also want Esc to have the meaning "leave canvas only mode".
In Photoshop and Gimp they use Tab for this purpose.

Remaining broken tools are: UI: * assistant tool * crop Stroke: * fill tool (remove button next to progress bar?) * gradient (remove button next to progress bar?)
Git commit 71c69adb0e900f9f1bf00778b5fbc6281259fd4a by Dmitry Kazakov. Committed on 04/06/2014 at 20:15. Pushed by dkazakov into branch 'progress-bar-reincarnated-kazakov'. Added an ability to cancel the currently running strokes! You can either press Esc key or press a red cross button which appears near the progress bar in the bottom. The currently executing stroke will be cancelled and all its work will be reverted. This patch will first go to 'progress-bar-reincarnated-kazakov' branch. Please test it for stability and usability please!

This is a nice FEATURE_PROJECT for Krita. Just make it a task
Ok, most of the long-running actions are cancellable now. If you think some action is not cancellable, please report a separate bug for it.
