Hi

I would love to have
Ctrl-C for copy
Ctrl-V for paste
A normal Markee tool (love the transform tool in Photoshop:-))

and also the ability to combine shortcuts like Alt-Ctrl-Shift


cheers

Once you get used to the brush tools (cutting & stamping, for instance), you won't miss copy & paste. I have the opposite problem, since I use TVP more than PhotoShop, I go into PS and try to do stuff and then go "Doh! I can't do that here!" It was like back in the Amiga days after being so used to DPaint and then having to use the lame paint tools available on Windows at the time

I agree.
But a transformtool that can distort a selection is something I miss daily. The way to do it now, is to enlarge the selection on a new layer until it's as wide or high as the projectsize, and than use the transformtool.That works, but is a delaying factor.

what's that ...! do you mean by "TranformTool" the "reScale & Rotate" tool ?
if so, don't you use the "Brush Edit Tools" panel and/or assigned shortkeys ?
Still missing a Brush "4 corners Warp" tool,
this feature is for a long time requested, and will be very welcome,... when it will !

I meant the warp tool, which is a 4 point warp tool. But it doesn't work with selections.
I wouldn't know where to find the 'brush edit tools'???
I know the edit button in the brush panel, but that's not what you mean?

that's basically the same tools, but buttonised in a custom bar (pick up one of the last links),
it's in the content sharing section,
or attached below.

for the 4 points warping tool, you can use the FX stack, but I must admit it's not so friendly ...
(perspective: 4 Points Render/Source = CustomBrush)
so, definitively yes, we still need a smart Brush warp tool, easy to handle.

This could be me not knowing how to use a tool...but when I use the BrushCut thing I always loose the orientation of the thing I want to scale, I mean if I want to scale a head it would be nice to not have the head popping away into a brush all the time. I would be nice if the head just stays there while I scale it

yeah, the Brushes are, by nature, floatting, so you have to re-scale and rotate a floatting thing,
then stick it at the right place on the canvas (LMB click).
a lot of place for improvement in this area (selection/brush transformation) ...

I think the shortcut 'W' puts the brush on the same spot where it was taken from. I forgot the name of the function (I'm not on one of my workcomputers now).

Hi Pigbelly,
TVP Animation is sell with a default configuration included default shortcut. You can change them like you want to have the same shortcuts as Photoshop (per exemple) if you really want that.

[ZigOtto]

... You can change them like you want to have the same shortcuts as Photoshop ...

Really ? ... like he wants ?

and also the ability to combine shortcuts like Alt-Ctrl-Shift

ok, we have to work on Alt-Ctrl-Shift

[Sewie]

Please, please do!

Ditto the alt+shift+control combos. I've always been a heavy keyboard shortcut user and I've allready run out of keys to bind things to. I tried using different rooms with different keyboard layouts but it gets to confusing. TAP TAP TAP why won't this keyboard shortcut work... oh, wrong room

One suggestion that would also free up tons of keys; Let us bind more than one thing to the same shortcut and just loop through the tools/functions bound to that key. Say I bound b to brush freehand, brush line and brush filled line. I can then hit m a couple time to get the right tool. This way you could group tools in logical clusters and not have to have unique keybinds for each of them.
