[feature request] bind secondary mouse button/right click to switch tool settings
Hi, I'd like to suggest a feature that would significantly speed up certain workflows. In my case, it would speed up pixel art production and allow me to switch to using only GIMP to create pixel art.
Some other programs, namely Microsoft Paint, allow the secondary color to be drawn using the secondary mouse button. In GIMP, the secondary mouse button only ever opens the context menu when used on the canvas, but I think it would be much more useful if, while using the paintbrush or pencil tools, this switched the brush to either the secondary color or to the "erase" brush mode.
To summarize:
- Allow the secondary mouse button to be used by tools, rather than only opening the context menu
- Give paintbrush and pencil tools options for secondary mouse button behavior (context menu, drawing with secondary color, or drawing with erase brush mode)
- Consider adding secondary mouse button functionality to other tools
Switching colors with X or tools with their respective keyboard shortcuts is slow and cumbersome compared to simply using the secondary mouse button to draw momentarily, and I find that I have never used the context menu on the canvas itself, opting instead for the window's menu. Being able to draw or erase with the secondary mouse button would save a lot of time and unnecessary shortcut use.
