Auto Colour Pick & Fill

Auto Colour Pick & 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, when the Ready Key (F9) is held and the mouse or pen button is pressed down.

You must setup the following shortcut keys for the script to work in your programs. You may use your own shortcut keys instead of 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 will no longer function as a normal key while the script is running.

OpenToonz (v1.5+)

Command Shortcut
Style Picker Tool - Areas Shift+K
Fill Tool - Freehand Shift+F
Tool Mode - Areas Alt+M
Tool Mode - Lines & Areas Alt+Shift+M
Tool Type - Normal Shift+N

CLIP Studio Paint

Command Shortcut
Colour Picker Alt
Close & Fill Tool F
Normal Fill Tool G

Please note, the Normal Fill Tool refers the the sub-tool, not the icon on the Toolbar, because all Fill Tools are grouped under the Toolbar icon, using the shortcut for the group would fail to switch in some cases.

Options

In some cases there are options you can change within the settings.ini file prefixed with option.

Option Default Description
FillTypeToNormalAtEnd On OpenToonz: Switches the Fill Tool Type to Normal when the mouse is released.
ToolModeToLinesAndAreasAtEnd On OpenToonz: Switches the Tool Mode to Lines & Areas when the mouse is released.
SelectFillToolNormalAtEnd On CLIPStudioPaint: Switches the tool to Normal Fill Tool as corresponding to the shortcut set when the mouse is released.

Download

You can download and run the latest self-contained binary for Windows, or the script itself which requires you have AutoHotkey installed to run.
