It would be awesome to close selection as easy as in the other apps! My suggestions: 1 Esc 2 Clicking Deselect Button showing cross on the selection. Button can appear after you make selection, or sit there with other buttons all the time. 3 Clicking with Selection Tool outside the canvas New button(s ) also should work with selection tool improvements suggested suggested here: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349948 Reproducible: Always
you can assign 'Esc' as shortcut for deselect in the configure shortcuts section.
1 Esc now works, thank you It took a some time until I found Configure Shortcuts Section. I just get used to mac os interface so much: for the last 9 years every option and every settings menu was sitting down in the same place for every application ) That place was the menu bar right under the name of the application. In Krita the Preferences also sits there, and user can configure quite a few shortcuts up there but there are also the Settings menu, which is quite confusing, because Settings and Preferences always seemed to me quite the same thing. Settings is ninth in a row, one of 11 items in the menu bar. Why not to keep all UI settings in the same place? 2 UI improvement sorry for duplicating, I posted this few minutes ago to this topic https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349948 but Question or Feature Suggest Are there any option or modifier key or shortcut key to show and configure hotkeys and comment for any UI tool on mouseover? That would make learining such things 500% faster! (started thinking about such thing after trying to use Blender - the most powerful and the most tangled FOSS ever existed: you can weave worlds if you can comprehend how to rotate view)
Krita on mac is highly experimental and no full fledged bug fixing has gone on mac. It is strictly not for production purpose. Having said that we don't want to discourage users from bug reporting under osx, it is just that you shouldn't use it for production purpose. There are plans to do osx improvement in future.
Since this line smoothness and tablet pressure sensitivity comparison https://www.dropbox.com/s/i9kmbbxv42lxtx5/Screenshot%202015-08-18%2020.13.51.JPG?dl=0 I switched to Sketchbook. But Krita gave me a such creative boost! I was never such hooked up by drawing digitally. Krita Sketch Tools line, especially such tools as Sketch_line, and Sketch_shade_wash are something that one can build his style on and rely on the daily basis, really amazing instruments. I was warned about Krita on mac status on the download page, I just enjoyed the app, the new experience it brings and wished to get involved little bit )
How is line smoothness related to this bug report? I request you to use discussion forum for such topics. they can be found here -> https://forum.kde.org/viewforum.php?f=136 You can also discuss thing on IRC ( chat room ) here -> https://krita.org/irc/ It takes a lot of time to triage bug reports and some developers get emails for every comments here, so I request please add only necessary and important information about bug to the related bug report and keep the discussion on forums. thank you
Sorry, the report mixes up too many unrelated things.
