Re: [Gimp-developer] Ctrl-clicking your way to a new layer mask

[Ben <draekko software gmail com>]

I've updated the patch to make white the default initial mask setting 
and switched to ctrl-shift clicking (configurable through the masks 
preference) and added ctrl-alt shift click to bring up the dialog when 
needed. As always clicking on the image with either key combination will 
add or remove the mask for that layer.
