Please help me with Sorting out shortcuts for the actions present in our vector editing tool. Preferably, then should coincide with the shortcuts we use in other places in Krita and in Inkscape.
# | Action | Current Shortcut | Needs change | New shortcut |
---|---|---|---|---|
Selection | ||||
1 | Select "Hot Position" (anchor) | Middle Button | YES | |
2 | Select next in stack | Shift | ||
3 | Select multiple | Ctrl | ||
Move | ||||
4 | Snap to axis | Shift | ||
Scale | ||||
5 | Keep aspect ratio | Shift | ||
6 | Scale from center | Ctrl | ||
Rotate | ||||
7 | Rotate around center | Left Button | ||
8 | Rotate around "Hot Position" | Right Button | YES | |
9 | Rotate in steps 45 deg | Ctrl or Alt | YES | |

We should at least change shortcuts, which use non-left mouse button, because they are not easily accessible with the stylus. And for shortcut 9, I guess, we should change the step to 15 degrees. That will allow the user any subdivisions of the space. We can also add a shortcut for switching steps into "relative" and "global" mode. In relative mode the rotation will be calculated relative to the initial position of the shape, and in global: to the absolute rotation of the shape. The second more is extremely useful for reverting the shape back to 0 position.
