Right click for color selection and copying


Recommended Posts

I've been using CorelDraw for a while at work and I love how it deals with fill & stroke, as well as utilizing the right click in general:

1. When selecting colors, using the left mouse button will define the fill, and when using right mouse button it defines the stroke.
(This saves so much time and I always loathe moving back to Illustrator or Designer because of the lack of this feature. It eliminates the need for the two color selectors.)

2. When dragging any object, if you decide you want to copy it instead, simply right click while still dragging the object and a copy will be made.
 

3. If you right click + drag instead of left click drag, then position the object on top of another object/layer and release, you get a few options from a drop down:

- copy fill

- copy stroke

- copy all properties

- Powerclip inside (place inside)

 

All in all I just like the use of the right click since it gets rid of the need to be holding Alt/Ctrl/Shift or a combination of the three all the time. I can see that it might be a big departure from the current workflow for some but I thought I'd at least propose it seeing as I use it all the time in Corel and would gladly port the features to all other softwares if I could.
