This should be official in Krita, since I found your first video, my workflow on Krita has become a lot faster, I just want to say thank you for sharing this amazing tool, you need and deserver more recognition.
I'm glad you've been using the plugin from the very beginning. I'd love to see it shipped with krita, but there are quite a few things I want to add before that happens :)
This is absolutely brilliant. This tool transforms the Krita painting experience - Once I get used to it, it should speed things up like crazy...and it's so fun to quickly use pie menus instead of having a lot of hotkeys. THANK YOU!
I'm glad you like it that much. Replacing default shortcuts with their more powerful versions was an important goal here, so I'm happy it worked for you as expected :) Make you won't miss an upcoming update with new features!
This consistent type of rotation tool is exactly what ive been looking for. Also getting all the different types of transforms and selections under the same shortcut is super nice. Great work! I found a bug with the pie menus, though. When i hold down a piemenu button and open the settings for it, then if i close the settings by clicking somewhere on the screen, instead of the check mark button in the middle of the pie, the pie menu stops working completely and i need to restart krita to get working again. Edit: The pie menus not working can also be fixed by opening the plugin's settings and then just pressing 'Ok' to close it.
Hi, and thank you for reporting. I can confirm that on Win10 the pie hides behind the main window - minimizing krita, and closing the pie worked worked. I made a fix - on GitHub you can switch from "main" to "development" (currently it has only this fix on top of 1.2.0). If you can confirm that this fixes your issue - I'll probably release it tomorrow as 1.2.1
@@wojtryb Oh, would it be possible to get the rotation and zoom mouse trackers separately, btw? I like them on different keys, but id still like to use the rotation function that you have here that works off of the horizontal movement. I dont like krita's default canvas rotation tool because it uses the location of the cursor in a stupid way that always feels inconsistent.
Yes. Check out the part of the video in which I tell how to duplicate an action. In "actions(dot)py" you need to edit "Scroll canvas zoom or rotation" action. It has three items in it - name, horizontal_slider and vertical_slider. You can duplicate whole thing, remove the "horizontal_slider" section from the first one, and remove the "vertical_slider" from the second one. By section I mean 5 lines of code: "horizontal_slider=Slider(...),". Then rename them to something like "Scroll canvas zoom" and "Scroll canvas rotation", and define them under the same names in actions.action
This is MAGIC!!! Thank you very much, it is speeding my workflow, and I also think it should be added to the default Krita settings. - It would be very nice to have a pie menu for the color palette. Most of my color palettes are less than 10 colors, so a pie menu would be perfect to select them quickly. Thank you again, I love your plugin! - For some strange reason, each time I toggle whatever pie menu, the Ubuntu docker shows up as well (I have the auto-hide docker enabled)
I'm glad you found it helpful! - The plugin is written in a way which allows extending it with possibilities like this. I abandoned handling colors as I really like the default "Show color selector" feature, as well as I don't work with palettes myself. Can't say this never happens, but for now I'm focusing on adding the features I need the most. - I don't have a full control over OS specific things. Both PieMenus as well as their settings are technically usual windows (but with hidden frames and bars on top), so the system can treat them as such. They are marked as "tools", which should make them not appear as separate windows on the system tray, but I can't guarantee every OS will respect that fully.
Unluckily not much I can do about it. That requires some work on krita part, and as far as I know, the person who created the Android port is quite busy with other krita tasks now.
This looks a lot better than the original pop up palette! I am very new to Linux and Krita, so I was wondering if a simple editable rectangular shortcut menu plugin was possible. I'm more interested in using Krita as a graphic design tool, so I don't have a particular use for a pie menu or brushes in general.
Thanks - brush related functionalities are probably the main features of my plugin. But there are some additional features here like those for changing layers or tools, that could be useful for graphic design.
Hi, can you tell me your setup configuration? I tried to move from windows and installed linux on my PC (mainly to limit my options regarding painting programs) I spent 5 days without sleep trying to make it work and gave up. I really liked the simplicity of Linux but it had so many compatibility problems, I had to be constantly modifying stuff through terminal (that I have no idea how to use it) ended up loosing all my files stored in a 2TB external hard drive, it was hell. Which Distro and Tablet are you using? My pc is NVidia GPU and INtel graphics integrated, I using a Gaomon PD2200 screen tablet. I tried PopOS, Fedora workstation, Xubuntu, and ZorinOS. The only one I got the most compatibility was Zorin because it was the Xfce version without all the wayland windows management gimmicks that would conflict with the tablet but still couldnt make my second monitor work , it kept freezing
@@PedroRodrigues-fh1ku Sad to hear you lost your data. After 10+ years of using Linux personally and now working using this system, I stick to Ubuntu - it's not so cool, but it usually just works. Before that I used kubuntu which was great, but couldn't run Windows games on steam. Under Ubuntu, I switched from Gnome to KDE Plasma desktop, so now I both got a desktop I like and games working well If you can't use the terminal, I'd stick with the default Ubuntu though as KDE requires tinkering. My tablet is Wacom Intuos Pro L - while they are overpriced, they are known to work best on Linux - it's my third Wacom tablet, and they always were plug&play.
@@wojtryb Thank you =) I really wantyed for Linux to work, I have really bad Adhd so I lose focus very easily, so I wanted a very minimal system that I could configure to stop me from indecisiveness (like tinkering with other programs and brushes) Linux would be best cause I would have to stick to Krita which is actually the best. after 5 days I was really tired but trying original Ubuntu was the next step since I understood that the problem was with the distros derivations, Ubuntu is the most mainstream so it would have better support and compatibility, I really wanted the xfce DE for the simplicity that`s why I tried Xubuntu but didnt realize it was am edited version of Ubuntu... maybe I will try original Ubuntu with original Xfce De installed. Gaomon is really bad for compatibility already, so is Nvidia. It`s great that there are other artists that manage to do without windows, the one im using is so bloated with uselles stuff and adds and pre installed softwares i get overwhelmed. Also thanks for the Plugins, they are amazing and makes Krita a lot better!
Help - when i try to drag a new tool into the misc tool pie, the whole pie runs away from my cursor into seeming nothingness and there's no way of even closing the options without restarting krita then :/ is there any other way to configure these pies? (Update: it works as intended in the duplicate screen mode, but not with extended displays, well at least the rotated/left-handed ones)
Hi, I've heard of this issue before. You can check out this issue: github.com/wojtryb/Shortcut-Composer/issues/51 My current understanding is that it's a bug in Qt (that's what krita uses to display windows) when there is ui scaling present. I'm not sure if it's possible to work around it in the plugin. Sadly it's probably not something I can fix myself. You can try to experiment with scaling options, if you want to use the plugin. Let me know if you find any valuable info when this bug occurs and when not.
Plugin saves the configuration along with other krita settings. The file is called kritarc and is located in %LOCALAPPDATA%\ on Windows, ~/.config on Linux, and ~/Library/Preferences on macOS. If you would like to back up your custom settings or synchronize them from one computer to another, you can just copy this file. Shortcuts are not a part of this file, but can be imported/exported separately from the keyboard shortcut settings.
@@wojtryb I see, thanks for the reply! Just started exploring Krita today. And I'm already sold that your plugin is a must download haha. Also, good job and keep it up! Thanks yet again
You need to be more clear to get any help. Make sure you followed installation process github.com/wojtryb/Shortcut-Composer#how-to-install-or-update-the-plugin and then describe what's wrong more clearly.

How do users call up the plugin to use it? Configuring it does not allow users to use it.
same question here, no way to setup a shortcut.

Do you need to uninstall the previous version before updating?
No, you do this as told at the end of the video. Krita will ask if you're ok with replacing old version with the new one
