Option-clicking on a color to fill the Paint Bucket?

[nickbatz]

If you Option-click (Alt in Windows) on a color with, say, the Brush tool, that color becomes the business one.

But that doesn't happen with the Paint Bucket. Instead you need to switch to the Color Picker. Is there a reason for that, or is it just a glitch in my system?

It wouldn't matter if both I (the Color Picker key command) and G (G for Bucket?) were left hand letters on the keyboard, so you can just switch without looking down. And I could just set up my own commands using BetterTouchTool, but I'd rather not change the defaults.

TIA

That one doesn't have that Option-click color picker association. - Though I don't see a concrete reason why it shouldn't offer that same capability too in order to pick up a fill color.

Okay, thanks, at least I know it isn't just my system.
