Hello !

I can't "end a curve" with the Bezier line tool (with shift + click, according to the manual and the software), because when I use shift it temporarly switch to the line tool and completely delete the curve I was working on... So it's pretty useless as it is

It's not the tool I use the most, but sometimes I really need it ^^'

I hope you could help me,

Have a nice day.

Sounds like you selected the Photoshop keyboard shortcuts profile, which kinds of messes this up. Is that correct?

Yes, but that is what I thought so I tried changing back to the default Krita shortcut profile and I still have the same issue ^^'

I see the same behaviour with 4.1.1 and the 4.2.0 pre-alpha. It actually doesn't complete the last segment of a multi-segment curve when you do Shift+Click. This is with the krita_default scheme.

So, a workaround is to end the curve with Click (start of new segment) then Shift+Click which deletes the now zero length last segment, leaving the previous segment(s) in place.

(In the Shortcut Schemes, there is one called 'Default' and one called 'krita_default', which have slightly different characteristics when creating/ending Bezier curves.)

I tried every shorcut scheme and the Bezier Curve Tool works with none of them... ^^'
What am I supposed to do ?

Did you try the workaround I suggested? i.e. Click then Shift+Click. Does that work for you?

Oh sorry, yes I tried but no it didn't work either
I really can't use shift+click because shift switches to the line tool and if I click then use shift it doesn't work ^^'

Well it's just a suggestion, but wouldn't it be much easier to use right-click to end the curve (place last point) and ctrl+z to remove the last point ?

Try to reset your settings completely -- I just tried this and it did work. In particular, rename the kritarc file to kritarc.bak and remove and input files in your local resources folder.

Hum I see another problem if I reset everything :

When drawing buildings, man-made structures, etc... I use the straight line tool a lot. According to the manual, with default settings you have to use the "v" key while using the brush tool. This is a solution, but I already use every shortcut on my tablet (Wacom Intuos Pro) :

- Brush tool
- Outline selection tool (lasso)
- Invert selection
- Deselect
Zoom - - Rotate Image
o
Undo/ Redo - - Brush Size
- Shift
- Ctrl
- Alt
- Mirror Image

Therefore, I would have to sacrifice a shortcut I often use in my workflow just to get a tool I rarely use to work... ^^'

Is there any other way ?

This is an interesting (and confusing) problem. I've just found that using double-click will correctly end a single or multi-segment Bezier curve in all the schemes.

Can you try that to see if it works for you?

I just tried but no it doesn't work for me : as always I get the hand that lets me move the canvas all around, but the curve is not ended.

Steven, please, can you tell your Krita version and OS (Krita menu > Help > Show system informations...)? Thanks

Actually, as for the Shift+LeftClick issue, I think I can reproduce it on Ubuntu 14.04, Unity - krita appimage 4.2.0-pre-alpha (git bb79c0e) using fresh configs.

1. switch to the "Bezier Curve Tool" (tooltip hint says: "Shift-mouseclick ends the curve.")
2. LMB+LMB+LMB...+SHIFT-LMB

Actual Results: it exits without closing the path
Expected Results: close the path and then exit

It ends the curve: it doesn't promise to close the path. The curve doesn't disappear for me.

Thanks! I was suspecting I had misunderstood the tooltip sentence.
