Krita Quick Access Manager
A plugin for Krita that provides quick access to brush presets and shortcut management.
The purpose of creating this plugin was to have a function similar to the Quick Access Tool in Clip Studio Paint.
v1.1.0
If you are updating the plugin from an older version, please delete shortcut_grid_data.json.
The data structure of shortcut_grid_data.json has changed and is not compatible with previous versions.

Support for more Krita Shortcut Actions
Previously, only Krita’s Global Shortcuts could be retrieved and registered to buttons. Now, almost all Actions can be retrieved and registered.
-
Individual Shortcut Button Configuration
You can now change the display name, font size, and colors of each shortcut button by holding Alt and right-clicking the button.
If you set the font size or color to a value different from the global config, that button will keep its individual settings and will not be affected by future changes to the global config.
How to Add a Brush Preset
- In the “Quick Brush Access” section, activate the grid you want to add to.
- Select the brush preset you want to add from Krita’s brush preset.
- Click the “AddBrush” button in the docker.
- The selected preset will be added to the active grid.
How to Add a Shortcut.
- In the “Quick Shortcut Access” section, activate the grid you want to add to.
- Click the “ShowAllShortcut” button to open the shortcut selection popup.
- Select the action you want to add from the table.
- Click the “AddShortCut” button.
- The selected shortcut will be added to the active grid.
How the config restore works
When Krita starts, the brush preset settings will be loaded automatically.
However, the shortcut settings will not be loaded automatically because it is difficult to track the timing when Krita loads all shortcut actions.
Therefore, you need to click the [RestoreShortcutGrid] button manually to restore the shortcut settings.
Resize Docker
When resizing the docker, please do it slowly.
If you resize too quickly, small Brush Preset popup windows may appear repeatedly, and you will need to close them manually.
Since the grid update process for Brush Presets has been disabled during docker resizing, this issue should no longer occur.
Sort/Remove
Sort:
To reorder a brush or shortcut button within a grid or move it between grids, hold Ctrl and left-click and drag the button to the desired position or grid.
Advanced Sort:
- To move a shortcut button up by one position within the same grid, hold Ctrl + Shift + Alt and left-click the button.
- To move a shortcut button down by one position within the same grid, hold Ctrl + Shift + Alt and right-click the button.
Remove:
To remove a brush or shortcut from a grid, hold Ctrl and right-click on the button you want to remove.
Remove Grid:
To delete an entire grid, click the “Remove” button located at the top right of each grid’s header.
Config file
The configuration files for grids and shortcuts are stored in ./quick_access_manager/config.
-
grids_data.json: Stores the brush preset grids. -
shortcut_grid_data.json: Stores the shortcut grids. -
common.json: Stores UI and layout settings.
Note:
There is no profile management function, but you can manually edit these files while Krita is closed.
If you want to reset or backup your settings, you can copy or edit these files directly.

Hello 
Hmm.. tried it, but i did not get it to run correctly though.. a error-message appeared on start, of Krita itself.
I’ll try again later today, and take a screenshot of the massage if that would help in anyway.
