Auto Pick Colour & Fill

Auto Pick Colour & Fill is a AutoHotkey script that reduces the number of user actions required to paint small unfilled gaps left over by paint bucket tools when working with aliased line work, by picking the colour under the cursor position and initiating a lasso fill selection in a single click.



Currently OpenToonz (v1.5+) and CLIP Studio Paint are supported.

How To Use

The script is run with a combination hotkey, the F9 key and the left mouse button.

You must hold down the F9 key to activate the script (from now on referred to as the Ready Key), the script will run when you click and drag using the left mouse button.

You must setup the following shortcut keys for the script to work in your programs. You may use your own shortcut keys over the default keys listed, but you must edit the settings.ini file to match the ones you choose. Please note that the key set for Ready Key (F9) will no longer function as a normal key while the script is running.
