Just to catch up here, I think the layer repositioning branch is
getting to a point of stability and usability, at least with the fixes
from today.
Strategically, I don't want to change the core focus and positioning
of MyPaint as a quick tool, but I also don't mind having a couple of
simple extra features that making sketching, prototyping and painting
work a little more pleasant in the core program even if they're things
other programs can do just as well. If anything it's one less context
switch for the user. But the program should still be primarily about
flow and paring down the mental context switches to the minimum. That
means doing manipulations directly on a canvas rather than via dreary
filter or manipulation windows or too much fiddling around with fussy
canvas overlays. I think move-layer just about falls into the first
category, but rotation and scaling might have be done as "first
specify your angle..."
Thanks for the clarification of your intention about this.
Finally, suggestions for default keybindings please! Currently you
have to bind it to a modifier+button drag yourself. MyPaint also has
some hardcoded stuff on modifier+space+pointer motion (that doesn't
make sense on all computers, to be honest), but I can revisit that
too. Frame manipulation kinda fell into the cracks between revisions,
so I want to make that a little more accessible too and do some quick
refactoring on it since we now have a more general drag operation
abstraction.
... too bad G is already took by the 'Color Triangle' ... I like the
Blender 3D way :
G to start a Grab action ( floating layer follow mouse movement ) , left
mouse click to 'bake'/'accept' the position
( in Blender , G = Grab , R = Rotate , S = Scale )
In Photoshop , Ctrl + T = to perform a Transformation of the layer (
this shortcut show manipulator to scale/rotate/move the layer with
moving handles at the corners ) ; user position/transform it , and
accept result with 'enter' or a accept button in the toolbar. Also I see
user firendly softwares placing on the corner of the selection on canvas
2 icons for accepting and reseting the transformation.
In Gimp ; I think the default is the 'M' key for switching to the 'Move
Tool' . ( but not sure, because I replaced the default mapping with my
customization ) . In Gimp it switch to a tool ; so nothing happen when
you switch to the move tool unless you start performing a drag and drop
on the canvas.
So, may the fact to know already all this methods doesn't help me to be
really helpful with a definitive choice.
I will trust your way to do it :)
