Created attachment 123800 [details] Krita Shortcut proposal SUMMARY I have been trying to work on a custom shortcut set to improve my work flow but it seems that do it makes stuff to break down. after setting my shortcut keys and restarting Krita the shortcut layout that I just made stops working. Loading and importing does not really work ((and I don't even know what the difference between both really are, it would be nice to have a dialog box to explain a bit more from each option kinda like blender had a while back if you hovered for a bit)). But the thing is that I need to reinstall Krita so I can get my shortcut keys to work again it is quite the hassle. I see the Small Color Selector disappearing too. I think this breaks Krita because I can't use all keyboard keys as shortcuts because there is the "Canvas Input Profile" too I kinda feel this too be super odd to have 2 sets of "shortcuts". the way I see it the input method should not use keyboard keys and the shortcut keys should probably should be upgraded to handle some more modifiers like in the "Canvas Input Profile" If you guys want I could work on a keyboard vector based for the menu to help visualize how the shortcuts would be set. like a small keyboard and it would display how everything is set up and seperate by colour each class (painting= blue, animation=red, selection=yelllow) and then you could press on some buttons (Ctrl, Alt, Shift) to see what was being used with each modifier as it would change the display to that selection. I think I will do just that today to add to this post and post on krita social medias to see what people think about that change. I know I did some mental gymnastics to create my own if I could just see it and test, it whould have been quite easyer if I could acctually see it on screen compared to other shortcuts and not a list of mostly unwanted results. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. place my shortcut key that I have been working for a better workflow 2. restart krita 3. check shortcut list if it loaded and if you can see a shortcut list even, if it is there restart again OBSERVED RESULT shortcut keys reset to default state despite shortcut profile selection EXPECTED RESULT 1) Have my shortcut profile loaded up and working as set up previously optional) A keyboard display over the Settings Shortcuts list with modifier toggle display SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: 10 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION This is actually a shortcut key proposal I am working on to send you guys if you want, but I think I kinda broke Krita doing it DX
Photo references: 1) The Shortcut layout that I made to improve my workflow 2) A photo manipulation of what I was trying to say on the previous comment, about the display of the currently used shortcuts with the currently selected modifiers (you could click on ctrl, alt and shift to toggle them 1) http://pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=86756b2f1d7a9aef00d711fc701c5c82 2) http://pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=94038527e97914a2d5e02ac8264a2fe7 http://pasteall.org/pic/show.php?id=0d3d902d49f93f7621d8f930663a320d P.S. -Colors display shortcut class (brush, colors, canvas view, selection, animation). -Maybe you see the initials on the button and as you hover it or click it you see the full text on a dialog box, or the text expands from the button. well something. Either way that was idea I was gonna try to present you guys, but I kinda stumbled on this weird problem. I tend to prefer not to mess alot with the shortcut keys by default but this layout was actually helping me out. I was able to draw longer with less need to interact with the interface, doing almost everything with my screen tabbed. Hopefully it will not be something too problematic to fix.
I made a small keyboard layout in 3D, if you guys want it just say. cheers.
Hi! Im sorry this took so long to look at. I think you made another report with the same behaviour in bug 415906 The idea on showing the current layout could be interesting, but here is not the proper place to discuss it. discussion is better done at the forums https://forum.kde.org/viewforum.php?f=136 or https://krita-artists.org/ as more poeple will take part in discussions. Or if you plan to code it, you could make a prototype and discuss the WIP with a Merge request on the gitlab repo. Closing this as duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 415906 ***
