Re: [Gimp-user] Shortcomings of Shortcuts

["Rick Strong" <rnstrong primus ca>]

You  are right: "... no search bar for looking through the 350 different 
help topics?" There is no search function, a major failing in an otherwise 
very good help file.

The workaround is to double-click on the drop-down list on the left under 
"GNU Image Manipulation Program" where it says "Index". This takes you to a 
comprehensive index of the manual. Under the "S" you will find the word 
"Shortcuts".

Whether or not it will answer your question I don't know. Best practice is 
to tell the list your OS and what version of GIMP you have.

Good luck,
Rick S.

Subject: [Gimp-user] Shortcomings of Shortcuts

Hello! and please help. My personal created shortcuts are not functioning at
random times. usually they do, but sometimes they don't. Most of the times 
its
just because I have switched languages with Alt + Shift, but when that is in
order I cannot understand why my shortcuts are not working. I feel it must 
be
another keyboard shortcut I have pressed to activate a mode where keyboard
shortcuts are not supposed to work because there is a different focus in the
program e.g. if a dialog box was open or something. But I cannot figure it 
out.
it seems just that Gimp is moody and that right now it doesn't want to help 
me
so i have to go about fiddling with the mouse of tardiness. unnecessary 
waste of
time when glorious keyboard shortcuts can help you. For the same reason,
maybe(!), I cannot drag and drop pictures into the working frame. Yes, I 
found a
thread which suggest that I should drag and drop into the toolbox, and by 
the
sun, it worked. But why then does it work other times. Why the mood. What 
button
am I pressing? what am I not doing. Its like trying to use some tools and 
then
they don't work and you realize that you haven't "selected all" yet so you 
Shift
+a that beautiful beach of a program and it works. Is there, dear community 
a
simple fix to my annoyances? And are there no search bar for looking through 
the
350 different help topics? Dear admins, I want for my birthday, May 23, a 
search
bar so that I can look through all the previous given help. But there might 
also
be one and I am a weakling in the force of computer power.

TLDR;    (stupid silly writing mood of the author)

Shortcuts missing sometimes.

It's not the "changing of languages" by pressing Alt +Shift

Cannot, there again only sometimes, drag and drop pictures into the working
space. But sometimes I can. Is there a button?

Thank you dear beautiful human being who took the time to help a peasant in
need.
