Starlite Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I use the Magic Wand tool a LOT. But pressing S *four times* is just ridiculous. (Pressing any key combo more than twice is not really a shortcut, arguably.) I'd like to assign an unused key to go straight to the Magic Wand. How do I do this?

MJW Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Sorry, but I don't believe there's any way to do that. It'd probably be quicker to use the Tool menu, which only requires one mouse click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starlite Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 The trouble is, using the mouse involves a change of input modality. That means, moving a hand from the keyboard to the mouse (or vice versa). That's why I'm asking. Surely someone must have written a plugin? (Fingers crossed.)

Starlite Posted June 30, 2021 Author Share Posted June 30, 2021 Thanks for the information. Guess I'll have to try and get in touch with the developer(s). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 ^ He'll have already read this. The likely answer will be to recommend you install a third party app to record yourself a keyboard macro.

Rick Brewster Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Looks like Shift+M also works for activating the Move Selection tool Still not sure how/why this is happening, but my guess is that Shift activates the _last_ tool with that shortcut key Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
