One of the oddest things in Krita is the necessity to manually switch to “Move” mode after select something. Assume I select a rectangle area. Why do I have to explicitely enable “move” mode to move this rectangle? Even worse: When I want (after move operation) to move another rectangle area I hav…

I started to use the selection tool much more in painting these days so having it automatically turn into transform tool would be wack; however, I understand that for some projects, not having to switch back and forth between selection and moving would save a lot of time and confusion → I really l…

@pstein I don’t know if this is of any use to you, but the temporary move tool from the shortcut composer plugin by @wojtryb does sound similar to what you might need. https://github.com/wojtryb/Shortcut-Composer/wiki/Plugin-actions#temporary-keys https://krita-artists.org/t/shortcut-composer-v1-4…

In Aseprite all selection tools have the movement tool built in. You can click off of the selection to deselect, use shortcut DESELECT ALL, hold shift to add to selection or ctrl to subtract from selection, or change to a different tool to disable the move tool but keep your selection. I welcome an…

To me this request sounds like an accessibility feature. If you are on a tablet without any keys, or if maybe you can’t use both hands, then it would definitely be helpful. In this case, I think a helper widget like in CSP would be good. A floating icon next to your selection, which you can use to …

As far as an accessibility feature I think you’re completely correct in your summation. User interface should always strive towards the fewest button presses possible. The reason I’d argue it makes more sense to have selection tools be combined with the move tool (at least as a toggleable option) …

What is your example of selection becoming the move tool that would interfere with your work flow? I’m curious.

There is already a feature request for the on canvas display which can be shown when you have a selection active. Please cast your votes for that here [image] Selection Action Bar Feature Requests It would be nice if, whenever a user creates a new selection mask, there wo…

Thanks, and it has a lot of votes too! To me this one here is redundant in this case.

I’ve made a video to show you; this is a very common way to paint on 1 layer If it automatically switches to move tool, it’d be more prone to accident - I use the addition - subtraction selection modes a lot

Here is the selection and move tool hybrid in Aseprite. Unlike Krita you only engage the move tools when you’re inside the selection or at the edges, so you can deselect easily by clicking outside of it. Rotate and manipulate have their own small areas to engage them instead of it being the e…

Select something = automatically enable MOVE mode
