Sorry I'm a bit late to the thread...

But in general the Wacom approach, at least on the high-end, seems to  
be changing the hardware to free the user's hand from the keyboard.  
Check the info on the Intuos4. With eight configurable buttons down  
the non-dominant hand side (the tablet is switchable) and a four-mode  
toggle touch wheel, there really is no reason to touch the keyboard in  
order to get tab, ctrl, alt, shift...

Mouse is relative so moving mouse mat is a use issue. However, tablet
is an absolute device so holding the tablet is a bit different.
If you draw on a paper, you turn te paper to get your strokes to run
conveniently for your hand. Thats something I do holding my tablet. I
tilt my head and turn the tablet to keep the alignment. My tablet
positioning tends to depend on what I do. Scetching, creative painting
etc, I hold my tablet and align it as I need with the screen. Just
using as a mouse, I set it down next to my laptop and keep my other
hand on the keyboard, but I do that only about 20% of the time. Mouse
is much more convenient for such interaction.

I would suggest finding a _hardware_ solution to freeing up the other

After some of these replies, just wanted to say that this describes
*exactly* how I work.  In addition to the actual drawing/editing I
also need to track email and web pages, so I need to be able to jump
between kb+pad and full kb easily (pretty much just drop the pen into
my lap and start typing).

I'd like to ask the folks who do not keep a hand on the keyboard: how
do you save files?  How do you enter text into GIMP?  Do you not use
modifier keys when selecting/drawing?  I find that just about
everything I do (in any drawing program) requires both hands - but I
would like to hear more about how others work.

Thanks,
Chris

hi all,

peter sikking wrote:

another thought:
when selection masks get disposed frequently, this points at possible
improvements in other places, IMHO.

Stroking circles as an example: the task is finished once the circle
is visible -- in my mind, but not so for GIMP, as i have to get rid of the
selection afterwards. Genuine geometry tools shurely work better here than
throw-away selection masks.

Complex selection masks, on the other hand, like a hair cut-out, tend to 
survive in
form of layer masks or alpha channels.

I'm not really shure: are there other common workflows which build selection 
masks
that are more complex than just a rectangle and still dispose the mask 
afterwards?

This workflow may be ok with certain types of uses/users (for example 
photo retouching with a small tablet), but personally when I'm drawing 
(main thing I use the tablet for with GIMP) I want, as when I draw on 
paper, to keep the tablet aligned to my main monitor and keep a proper 
body/arm position.

As I'm right-handed, the only places for the keyboard to be would be in 
my case between the monitor and the tablet (where I actually keep it) or 
to the left of the tablet. So the ESC key would be in either cases too 
far away and require tiring and unnecessary stretching of my left arm.

Most tablets have usually a few (4-8 or more depending on the model, 
some may have less) shortcut keys and a touch ring/strip. So the left 
hand (or right hand for LH users) is usually not just lying on the 
tablet doing nothing but has access to a limited set of quickly and 
comfortably reachable keys. It's true that one of them could be mapped 
to the "select none" option, but depending on the user and/or tablet, 
this shortcut might have to be sacrificed for other, more used, ones.

All this without even talking of tablet PCs, tablet monitors, or users 
who use their tablet on their lap like if they were drawing on a 
sketchbook. In these cases keyboard access can be rather inconvenient 
and thus limited to the minimum possible.

If you want to dream of selection "quick-buttons", I'd suggest:
Toggle Quickmask (existing), Toggle Last Selection (one click sets it
to selection of "none" and a second click would bring back the last
selection before it was made to none, using one of the methods.  The
advantage to this, is a selection could be set, work done, then
toggled and work done and bring back the selection to do more work
again.  Sort of a streamlined version of saving, clearing, then later
restoring a selection.) and Invert Selection.

But this should move over to the UI brainstorm at this point ;)

Let me propose a heretic idea that this is perhaps because most common
work flows do not work out with having one hand on the keyboard while
using a tablet? Like not having access to a one click undo. I know my
need to have a hand on the keiboard near disappeard when I got the
button maping for my bamboo working, so I have function keys for
undo/redo.

It is an option, but its often inconvenient. I like to have my tablet
aligned with the screen as much as possible. It makes drawing easier.
After being a tablet user for several years now I can do side by side
setup if I have to, but more often than not, Ill just pick up the
tablet and hold it, since having a laptop, best place under the screen
is already taken. This puts the keyboard on the other side of the
tablet. I have A5 tablet, so not that big, but reaching for the keys
is still a hassle.

I like the way PSP has this implemented: right click anywhere with any
of the selection tools active will dismiss the current selection (I
find having a secondary function bound to the right mouse button much
more useful than a context menu, especially since the context menu in
GIMP duplicates the menu bar).

I like the idea of adding such a "selection context menu" to the selection, it 
could have much more than just an [X], maybe stuff like what Alt+... 
currently does (move selection, move selected content, move duplicate of 
selected content).  Plus a number of other things I can't imagine yet.

Think of it as the options that show up for desktop widgets for say KDE4 or 
Mac's dashboard applets.

And it would be nice if these popped up at the side of the selection where the 
mouse currently is located so that the maximum distance is always size/2.

There would have to be a way to free the area occupied by such options, either 
by moving it to the other side or by disabling it, because there are some 
scenarios where you might need to do something with that area.  Maybe one 
modifier key that's freed by that additional user interface could be used to 
switch it off (either while being pressed or to toggle the state)?

A lot of design details wait here.

As always I'm looking forward for what you invent next, Peter :)

especially if large ones are used), but what if the selection is bigger 
than the drawing area or if is it in another part of the image than the

Escape is taken basically. It is used by all tools as a means to cancel
the current tool operation. Not all tools allow to cancel the current
operation, but IMO we should rather make sure that this changes, than
changing the semantics of Escape.

you hit the issue on the head. all of this is not very fast,
except ctrl-shift-a, but that is a shortcut. also the tool
changing feels awkward, and is simply likely if one has operated
on the selected pixels.

what I am missing is a direct way to end the selection state.

I usually click with a selection tool on any area outside the active

But this isn't always fast to do. For example another tool may be

It doesn't need to be outside the image, just outside the selected area.

Save the image as png, quit gimp and restart. :D

go to channels dialogue, make an empty channel, and do,
channel to selection. (and then go to layers and select
a layer in the image)

use rectangle tool to marquee round the whole image in

single-click with rectangle tool, outside the image (or ellipse tool

1. Use rectangle/ellipse select to select nothing (single click)
2. Activate QMask, drop black on the image, exit QMask
3. Use the Move tool in Selection mode to throw the selection mask off canvas.

[Gimp-developer] ceci n'est pas une selection...

2009-10-30 Thread peter sikking

would like to tap the wisdom of this crowd here.

say I have made a selection in GIMP, done what needed to be done to the
pixels in the selection and now want to get rid of the selection.

the obvious way is Select->None.

how many more ways are there?
