[Gimp-developer] add mouse action for brush scaling

2007-01-24 Thread Alexander Rabtchevich
Currently scalable brush can be scaled with [ ] by default, what is very 
fine. Could a mouse scroll wheel + some key modifier be used to act the 
same as [ ] buttons?

I'm a right-handed person, so when I retouch a photo most of my actions 
are connected with mouse movements and some left hand actions: Ctr+H, 
Ctrl+C, Ctrl+wheel, Shift+wheel, Space. Rather often brush needs to be 
scaled, so I have to left mouse and press [ or ] several times. The left 
side of the keyboard is mostly taken with shotcuts.

I suggest adding Alt + wheel to act like [ ] for brush scaling. It could 
be very convenient to a user not to leave a mouse for keyboard and due 
the wheel is very well controllable and intuitive for scaling purposes.

 I couldn't find it in the shortcut editor (maybe I overlooked it).
 It should be listed there, right?
  
build
As I understand, it appeared there by default in 2.3.11 or other build 
close to it . Before it was possible to assign these keys manually in 
developers branch (and I did it).

 Hmm, Alt + wheel is mapped to opacity.
 Ctrl + wheel zooms.
 Shift + wheel scrolls sideways.
Ctrl+wheel, wheel itself, shift+wheel and space form a pretty complete 
set of picture movement and scaling. I like it and suffer then any other 
program doesn't provide wheel and Ctrl+wheel.

 
 Preferences - Input Controlers allows to map mouse wheel events 
 to actions, but I don't see actions for changing brush size.
 
Thank you for solution to the problem. I've assigned Alt+wheel to 
context-brush-radius-decrease and context-brush-radius-increase and 
feel myself happy for now :).
