[Gimp-gui] Toolbox Focus Issues

[Americo Gobbo <jag rabisco gmail com>]

Hi All,

I have some old issues that only I am interested to discuss...

The toolbox is a dialog where we need the same behavior for each tool, 
for example, if we select the Paths tools on the Toolbox, what do we 
wait after?
Well, I think, normally, to enable/open the Paths tool settings on Tool 
Options dialog, correct?

The single click on the Tool Box, when we are in MWW or SWM, it has an 
effect is not so evident, we must already to have enabled the tool 
options dialog.
If you is enabling a Tool in the Tool Box dialog normally the user waits 
that the tool settings will be opened. To do it is necessary a 
double-click... but, I don't understand in the previous scenario the 
single click function.

For me and, perhaps for many users, the single click on toolbox is bit 
confuse or lost. If is working in MWM, for instance, and you have the 
tool options dialog separated from any dock, is possible to see the tool 
options changing but without to select the tool options dialog (this 
causes me a certain confusion .

I am able to understand the motivations of current behavior, someone 
could explain the reason why?

IMO, the ideal flow... would be:
# Single click on tool of the tool box > to open/select the Tool Options 
dialog.
# Independent keyboard shortcuts of the text cursor kind position, or 
rather, if the mouse point is not over the textarea the keyboard 
shortcut is applied. That, to avoid the situation when the cursor point 
is located on the text box, of some dialog, and the key shortcut doesn't 
works and add only text in these fields.

Thanks,
americo
