[Plugin] Better Color Cycler - Improved shortcuts and support for dial accessories

Resources Plugins and Scripts
1

Hi everyone,

I had an idea to make another plugin when I realized how bad Krita’s built-in shortcuts were for adjusting color hue, etc. So here is the result of my attempt at improving those shortcuts.

In Krita, if you repeatedly apply shortcuts to shift the hue, due to precision errors, the saturation and brightness move around and drift toward the black (0 saturation), which makes it so shortcuts stop working until you manually reset the saturation.
Also, it seems the distance the hue shifts is random, sometimes really short, other times long.

With built-in shortcuts:
built_in

With my shortcuts:
my_plugin
(sorry about the watermark)

My aim was to fix that, but I also added a few extra features:

  1. Adds shortcuts to rotate the hue of the color by a fixed angle

  • relative mode: from whatever color you have currently selected, it will rotate the hue accordingly.

  • absolute mode: to be used with a dial accessory, it allows you to pick a specific hue at the angle your dial is aimed at (can be configured in the .py file, by default is set up for Huion Mini KeyDial KD100).

  1. Shortcut to toggle ‘fine’ mode with a smaller angle of rotation

  2. Shortcuts to adjust saturation and brightness by a fixed step

good evening, this is an absolutely wonderful plugin. thank you for your contribution! ive been looking for stronger hue control and this solves my problem very well.

i wanted to note that the download link is inaccessible for me and others. if you could ever create a github repo, a google drive link, or perhaps a re-up in bitbucket, that would be very very much appreciated :pleading_face: :face_holding_back_tears: thank you so much simolette. have a wonderful day
