[Gimp-user] Enhancement request: Accessing Erase
I am having another try at this. I often find myself switching back and forth between the erase tool and the paintbrush tool. This involves a fair bit of hunting in the toolbox - if I have no eraser preset set - or a little less hunting - if I have a preset set - each time I switch tools. I would like it if changing to erase mode was as easy as choosing an erase color from the color palette (or color tool). My use case is with a tablet and no keyboard. For my motivation, see earlier posts.

Because with Wacom simply switching ends should switch tools. You styulus automatically associates with e.g. Paintbrush, and your eraser associates with e.g. Eraser.

If I spin the pen around, it gives me an eraser with the correct size and dynamics (+1 gimp!). However: - the palm rejection on the tablet often skips while the pen is being spun in my hand, so I can end up in a changed window, screen or activity (I am on Linux); and - the GIMP's interface doesn't seem as responsive to the eraser as to the stylus. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list

Are you referring to touch support in the tablet interferring with your work? - the GIMP's interface doesn't seem as responsive to the eraser as to the stylus. How exactly?

Are you referring to touch support in the tablet interferring with your work? Yes, I guess so. As I twirl the pen I'll sometimes end up in a different application by the end of the spin. So, presumably there's a touch event on my bottom panel. It might also be interpreting the stylus arc as a gesture? It's been a while. I didn't investigate at the time. - the GIMP's interface doesn't seem as responsive to the eraser as to the stylus. How exactly? Good question - I stopped using the eraser a while ago, so I can't quite remember. If you're interested I can give it another go and report back. ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list
