felt like making a random csp obscure tips post here we go
1. a huge feature a lot of people don’t use is modifier keys!
you can find modifier key settings by right clicking on a brush/tool
you actually do use this feature, but most people don’t customize them. a lot of the more obscure shortcuts are actually modifier keys, such as Alt being the eyedropper
if you want your brushes/tools to do something specific when you press a key.. theres a good chance you can set it up like that! the different shortcuts are allowed to only do certain things but its still pretty powerful, like you can make ctrl alt switch your pencil brush to a lineart brush, but that shortcut wouldn’t work on other brushes
a REALLY helpful use for modifier keys i figured out recently is making shortcuts to switch to different selection modes on my lasso tool instead of having to click the buttons to change them every time
2. you can make custom brush groups and organize your brushes on that toolbar really easily. brushes are insanely customizable actually
Something important to understand is that CSP treats all brushes and tools as Sub Tools, and Sub Tools can go into Sub Tool Groups, and then those groups can have their Own sub tool groups.
This is how you make groups within groups (I’m calling them mini groups for clarity from now on)
However you can drag these mini groups into the tool bar to make your own sub tool groups
You can also drag individual sub tools into the side bar to make a new sub tool group, if you drag them over one of the divider lines it will make its own section
3. You can set shortcuts for any sub tool group
If you go into shortcut settings, there’s options for your custom sub tool groups on the toolbar
