--- Comment #4 from Tyson Tan <tysont...@gmail.com> --- (In reply to Boudewijn Rempt from comment #3) > Wait... I think I know the problem. The documentation says "press shift > while holding the handle" -- and that's what it is. When first hold shift, > then click on the handle, nothing happens, both in 4.1.7 and current master. > Can you check that? So here is what I understand: Krita's assistant tools... 1) ... does NOT accept SHIFT when we CREATE the shape; 2) ... only accepts SHIFT when we EDIT the shape. Now that's a huge UI/UX issue! Human mind works.. Like: I want to draw a circle, so I hold down SHIFT. Not like: I want to make a circle, so I draw an ellipse, and use SHIFT to turn the ellipse into a circle. 1) Because people expect the UI/UX for both creation and editing to be THE SAME! 2) Every geometric shape painting tool in Krita's toolbox accepts SHIFT when we create the shape. The assistant tools break this code. 3) People won't be able to figure it out. It feels broken. It's like being unable to draw on a new layer right after you created it, and you must switch to an old layer and then back to activate the new layer's "paintability". 3) The documentation did not distinguish between the creating and editing part, which is not really its fault, because who would have thought! Your instruction in comment 3 confused me because I tried to do that when I create a shape. I was able to figure it out in desperation and by mistake, clicking the handle afterward, which gave me an idea to try it SPECIFICALLY in editing. This is not intuitive at all. I STRONGLY suggest we allow SHIFT during the creation of an assistant. Even better, we give people a circle assistant. Sometimes all we need is the ability to draw a circle! It shouldn't be this complicated! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
