[Gimp-developer] layer dock shortcut
There's a shortcut under the Tools menu to open the toolbox;
after quite some time helping people on the GIMP IRC channels,
I think it would also be helpful to have a shortcut on the
Layers menu to show the layers dock.
Once people discover how the Layers dialogue box works, their
understanding of GIMP progresses very fast. People don't tend
to look for it under windows-dockable thingies because they
don't know it's a dockable thingie. Or, as Alan Cooper would
say, we have to help the Perpetual intermediates become Experts :)

The standard hotkey for reaching the toolbox dock is CTRL+B. Since gimp 2.4(?) you can also show hide all docks using the TAB key ;) -- Bernhard S. ___ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
