Api call to get and set current selected tool?

[henry23]

I need to retrieve the currently selected tool, but every approach I’ve tried so far only returns memory addresses or similar pointer values.

Sadly i dont think it exists. I have been searching for it too.

I’ve used this workaround made by Grum999 a bunch of times in plugins, tested previously on 5.2.9.

How to know which tool is currently in use

Hi There’s no “easy” method for that Here’s my module for that: # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # PyKritaToolKit # Copyright (C) 2019-2022 - Grum999 # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-3.0-or-later # # https://spdx.org/licenses/GPL-3.0-or-later.html # ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- # A Krita plugin framework # ---------------…

Every tool is part of the toolbox’s button group, so…

from krita import *

qdock = next((w for w in Krita.instance().dockers() if w.objectName() == 'ToolBox'), None)
wobj = qdock.findChild(QButtonGroup)

print (wobj.checkedButton().objectName())
