Yes. In hindsight that's probably an easier way of putting it. 
Or at least I would like to but it doesn't work in 2.8.

I tried making one of the tablet buttons the space bar, and it still does
nothing if I'm already using the stylus in gimp.

I'm still using the same OS and tablet  as I was when it worked in 2.6 - Win 7
and a Wacom intuos 5. Unfortunately the tablet is massive and covers the whole
keyboard of my laptop, so the spacebar trick isn't really doable without lifting
the stylus.


I was hoping it was just a setting to enable for this like there was to make the
tablet usable in 2.8,  or a plugin or something.

[Gimp-user] Panning whilst using a tool

2016-10-30 Thread Gallifreya
I've made the shift from 2.6 to 2.8 a couple of months ago (don't judge me, when
2.8 first came out I was only just working out 2.6 and all the settings were
intimidating, and after that I just forgot)

Anyway, in 2.6 if I was, for example, using a 30% opacity brush and wanted to
continue outside my current painting area, I could use the middle click button
on my stylus to grab the canvas, drag it over and continue without lifting the
pen - avoiding me having to try and line up my brush with the edge of the last
section I did to try and keep it from overlapping since I'm using a set opacity.

I could do the same thing if I wanted super precise selections - zoom in on the
image, select tool, drag, and without lifting the pen pan over to the rest of
what I wanted to select and continue.

In 2.8 I can't seem to do this. I reach the edge of my work area and have to
lift the pen to make the panning option work, so if I want to work with
opacities whilst zoomed in enough to see the detail of what I'm doing I have to
try and carefully line up edges on each visible section.

I'm sure there were more things I used this feature for but I can't think of
examples currently. Anyway is there a way to make this work again?
