Can I use Python to set zoom to Fit Page?

[ibo]

Hi,

I’m trying to find a way a keyboard shortcut to Fit Page, directly, using Preferences, or using some Python code. Is there a way to do it?

Thank you,

That’s in the Canvas Input settings and it’s the ‘2’ key.
If you think about changing it, make sure any change you make doesn’t clash with a keyboard shorcut key.

Now I see the light

I think Krita has a bit weird way to handle this, but at least now I know where to look for it. Is this accessible through Python?

Thanx.

I’ve no idea about Python but quite a few people here do know a lot about it.
Can you edit the topic title to say ‘Can I use Python to activate keyboard shortcuts?’, or whatever, to draw their attention?

Done. Thanx

Nearly everything that you can access by a shortcut can be accessed from Python, it’s just a bit hidden. It’s called “action”. You can use it like that:

krita.Krita.instance().action("convert_to_paint_layer").trigger()

And it will act as if you used a shortcut (in this case, it would convert the active layer to paint layer).

All actions are described in krita.action file: https://phabricator.kde.org/source/krita/browse/master/krita/krita.action , you can also just look in the Keyboard Shortcut and find what interests you and use the description/name from there to find the action in krita.action file (you need the name with _).

Running this script:

from krita import Krita
import re

r = re.compile('(zoom|page|fit)', re.IGNORECASE)
for a in Krita.instance().actions():
   if r.search(a.objectName()) or r.search(a.text()):
       print([a.objectName(), a.text()])

I get this output:

['zoom_to_100pct', '&Reset zoom']
['view_zoom_in', 'Zoom &In']
['view_zoom_out', 'Zoom &Out']
['view_zoom', 'Zoom']
['ZoomTool', 'Zoom Tool']

None of these look to be the one I’m looking for specifically – the one that allows me to fit page.

Am I missing something?

Perhaps because it is not in Keyboard Shortcuts section, but in Canvas Input Settings section (Zoom Canvas sub-section), so maybe these are different kind of actions?
