AP: make the inpainting brush the default of that group

[manu schwendener]

Hi

 

New users (or demo users) of AP ask again and again where they can find the inpainting brush - and that's only the ones bothering to create a forum account for that question.

 

I think it would help a lot if it was the default tool of the healing group.

I spent some time in Preferences/Shortcuts and now I have the tools that I use most often reassigned to singular Shortcuts that are intuitive for me.  Takes a bit of work to reassign/unassign the extra tools that are assigned to certain groups but it sure makes life easier.

I really don't like having to choose a tool icon by clicking another tool icon with a submenu. It just seems like it takes way more effort than it really does. I solved the problem for myself by using View > Customize Tools... and rearranging the Tools palette.

 

I increased the palette to 3 columns and got rid of (almost) all the tool icons that have submenus (the ones with the little triangles). Then, I loaded the palette back up with individual tool icons (no submenus). I threw in a few dividers so that the tools I use all the time can be clicked on directly, and are grouped into fairly logical categories.

Those are good solutions - but my focus is on the first time users. They must have seen / heard about the inpainting brush (or they wouldn't ask about it), but then can't find it when they open AP.
