Disk4mat Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 (edited) Let me start by saying, please dont hate me for being a PITA.... I have several images with numerous layers. While dragging a layer say towards the top or bottom, I can only drag the layer to whats visible in the layer list. Then I have to scroll, then drag some more etc.... The mouse does not coast when left click + hold + drag. Is this something down the road we can maybe take a look at? Its obviously not a show stopper. But lets put it on the annoyance list lol Edited May 4 by Disk4mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Rick Brewster Posted May 4 Solution Share Posted May 4 You can scroll when dragging by using the mouse wheel Also if you want to move the layer to the bottom or top, there are commands in the Layers menu, or you can Ctrl+click the buttons (the tooltip calls this out) 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...
Disk4mat Posted May 4 Author Share Posted May 4 (edited) Thank you! That is very helpful. Problem solved. Those up/down buttons are really small. With my vision those arrows look identical to me Thanks again! I was reading the documentation to see if Home/End or Pg Up/Dwn would work...

CircleBox Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 To piggy back on the subject is the only way to move the active layer to click it? IE moving from layer 3 to 4 so I can pick a color on 4, then move back to 3 so I can fill in a shape on 3. Then I have to go back to 4 to pick the color again, back to 3 to fill. So on and so forth. It's a lot of clicking, and I didn't find any hot keys in the documentation. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tactilis Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 2 minutes ago, BoltBait said: Nope. Try this: The request is to move the selected layer up or down, not to change the selected layer. It would be great if there were Shift shortcut key combinations for: Move Layer to Top Shift+Ctrl+Alt+PgUp Move Layer Up Shift+Alt+PgUp Move Layer Down Shift+Alt+PgDn Move Layer to Bottom Shift+Ctrl+Alt+PgDn which neatly mirror the Go to Layer shortcut keys.

CircleBox Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 Nah BoltBait got it. My wording was confusing! Thanks for the info, I missed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tactilis Posted May 4 Share Posted May 4 32 minutes ago, CircleBox said: Nah BoltBait got it. Yep. Apologies to @BoltBait for doubting his answer 🤔 It would still be great to have shortcut keys for the Move layer commands. It is of course possible to use Alt key combinations to activate the menus commands (eg. Alt L T / Alt L U / Alt L o / Alt L B ) but these are less convenient than shortcut keys when moving a layer up or down several levels.
