Re: [Gimp-user] Scripting, toggles and accessing the application state

["Rick Strong" <rnstrong primus ca>]

I understand the technique having used Photoshop for 27 years. I have scripted Indesign, Pagemaker, Corel 
draw (made it draw pie charts with callouts from a simple list of data), Word, Excel. It was fun but the time 
I spent debugging was better put to use using the other side of my brain and being creative. 

That’s just me. 

Sans souci,
Rick

I answer on this thread, the other one (no subject) was another mistake of my part. 

So as Jan said we aren't all that fluent in typing. 

My personnal reason is that I used Photoshop for 21 years now and I consider that a program should yield to 
its users' needs and not the other way round. 

For example I need a toggle when working on an image for which I have a sketch. Sometimes I need to show the 
layer with the sketch, then hide it then show it then hide it to see what is on the sketch that I lost on the 
image I built. Pressing F8 repetitively in very rapid strokes generally do the trick. Don' forget to half 
close your eyes as well😁

  Ctrl + Z = Undo
  Ctrl + Y = Redo
  Hold down Ctrl and do a two-finger dance to toggle.

  Question 3) As far as I understand it, it is not possible to have toggles
  at the moment. Ctrl z twice will cancel 2 actions instead of undoing and
  redoing the last action. Am I right?
