mbres Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Was wondering if there are keyboard shortcuts available for making the next/previous layer active and for moving the current layer up/down (in the layer list)? If not, might there be a chance that these be added? It would really increase productivity a lot for my workflow. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Hi @mbrs - I may have misunderstood your question, but surely it's quicker to just click on the layer to make it active? Also, to move a layer up or down takes one click on these for up or down :MoveLayerUp: :MoveLayerDown: .

Also, to move a layer up or down takes one click on these for up or down :MoveLayerUp: :MoveLayerDown: . Yes I know this. Wherever I can I tend to use keyboard shortcuts instead though, so I can keep my pen/mouse on the main image and I don't have to travel across to my second screen (where I keep the tools/color/layer windows) to click on a rather tiny button. It would me save time and uncessary mouse movements, in the same way as using the "S" command to select and "P" to use the pencil is a lot quicker for me that having to click that particular button on the Tools window.

Pixey Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Ahhh - yes, I now understand your predicament . The only short cut keys I know can be found here but I don't think what you are requesting is there Quote How I made Jennifer & Halle in Paint.net My Gallery | My Deviant Art "Rescuing one animal may not change the world, but for that animal their world is changed forever!" anon.

The only short cut keys I know can be found here but I don't think what you are requesting is there Hmm. Too bad. But in that case maybe Mr. Brewster will consider adding it? Something like PgUp/PgDwn = Select Previous/Next Layer, Ctrl+PgUp/PgDwn = Move Layer Up/Down might make sort-of sense, maybe? But really... any keyboard shortcut would be super.

Pixey Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 There is a thread with similar suggestions here perhaps a moderator will divert your request to that thread .

nitenurse79 Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 In V4+ you can also drag a layer up or down with your mouse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbres Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 (edited) In V4+ you can also drag a layer up or down with your mouse Which is indeed neat. But stil slower than a keyboard shortcut Also: Besides the keyboard shortcuts it would also make sense to have the "Move Layer Up/Down" actions as menu items in the "Layers" menu... all other Layer actions (besides these ones and "Select Previous/Next") are there...
