A plugin that adds two groups of hotkeys to Toon Boom Harmony: one to easily swap between the brush
and pencil
tools, and one to activate the cutter
and select
tools without affecting the alt
key's bindings.
Most other painting applications don't have a separation between a brush
tool and a pencil
tool in the same way that Harmony does, which can make the application difficult to work with if your hotkey muscle memory is accustomed to only having one key that activates your drawing tool. This plugin adds a new hotkey, activateDrawingTool
, that will activate either the brush or the pencil tool depending on which one you are currently using. You can then use the switchDrawingTool
hotkey to switch your currently active tool from brush
to pencil
or vice-versa.
Currently Harmony is set up to have the alt
key temporarily switch to the cutter
and select
tools, which can lead to conflicts if you want to use alt + <some key>
as a hotkey for something else. This plugin adds two hotkeys, switchToCutter
and switchToSelect
, that allow you to activate the cutter
and select
tools without affecting the alt
key's bindings.
First download the latest version here. Create a folder called packages
in your user scripts directory if it doesn't already exist, then copy the TBToolSwap
folder into it. You can find the new hotkeys in the hotkeys menu under the section ollyisonit-TBToolSwap
.
