CommonActions

Albertas Vyšniauskas edited this page Mar 22, 2015 · 2 revisions

In color areas, there are a few common actions available:

  • Add to palette (via Right Click menu or Doubleclicking)
  • Add all to palette (via Right Click menu, if the color is part of a logical grouping of colors -- for example the Swatches)
  • Copy to clipboard (via Right Click menu)
  • Paste (via Right Click menu, if the color area accepts drops)
  • Drag: transfer a color to some other area or application. In previews such as in MixColors or Variations, dragging operations are the only actions available on the color areas.
  • Ctrl+Drag: Replace a color in the palette (ctrl+drag from some color area onto a palette color. The name will be preserved, the color replaced.)

These actions are available globally:

  • Ctrl+P Start picking colors with a floating color picker.
  • Shift+Ctrl+P Show/hide palette.
  • Ctrl+C Copy currently selected color into clipboard as text. Uses first enabled converter to convert colors. If multiple colors are selected, one line is produced for each color.
  • Ctrl+N New palette. (if you want another palette open simultaneously, you probably want to open another Gpick instance instead; Ctrl+N effects the current instance.)
  • Ctrl+O Open palette.
  • Ctrl+R Revert current palette.
  • Ctrl+S Save current palette. See SaveAndExport for details on saving or exporting to various formats.
  • Ctrl+E Export current palette.
  • Shift+Ctrl+E Export selected colors.
  • Ctrl+I Import colors.
  • Ctrl+Q Quit Gpick.
  • Shift+Ctrl+N Set secondary view to None.
  • Shift+Ctrl+B Set secondary view to Blend colors tool.
  • Shift+Ctrl+D Set secondary view to Brightness Darkness tool.
  • Shift+Ctrl+M Set secondary view to Color mixer tool.
  • Shift+Ctrl+G Set secondary view to Scheme generation tool.
  • Shift+Ctrl+L Set secondary view to Layout preview tool.
  • Shift+Ctrl+V Set secondary view to Variations tool.
