Are there hotkeys for brush size and opacity similar to Photoshops 1-9 keys that set in 10%increments? I am well aware of s for size and i for intensity....but even that is inefficient because of the click and then slide....when i do this hundreds of times per sitting....it becomes redundant.

Not realy hotkey for that but you can Clic + Right for the Quick Menu !

There might be something in the Zscripts section of the QuickLinks (http://www.pixolator.com/zbc-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=2&t=000059) (under "Utilities")

If there is no Zscript that meets your needs, you could write your own with hotkeys of your choice -- look farther down that page, under "Writing ZScripts" -- you would probably only need to look at Lesson I and Davey's Command Reference -- you would just define some IButtons (even if you only use the hotkeys and not the buttons)

You should probably combine SHIFT and/or ALT with the numeric keys for your shortcuts so that other numeric input is not intercepted while the script is running

Here's an example to get you started -- this one includes an "if" test because I only wanted the hotkey active under certain conditions (be sure to mind your brackets and commas ;)):




There are commands in the reference for setting interface items to specific values -- once you have your first button defined, just copy, paste and modify to set up the other similar buttons. Then load it and play :)

Alternatively, you can type numbers when the Size and Intensity sliders are on screen, instead of sliding (e.g., type [s] [4] [8] [enter])

Hi 2Byts
You have an another trick :)
Each palette can be laying on the Canvas !!!
Draw Palette for example :)
Just on it Ctrl + Clic + Drag it where you whish !
So that's minimize the long way of the mouse :D
