Tools

Every tool has a single-key shortcut. Press the key to switch tools instantly. Hold Alt at any time for a temporary eyedropper, and Ctrl+drag with any tool to move the layer.

Drawing

• B Pencil — paint single pixels; drag for freehand lines
• E Eraser — remove pixels (sets alpha to 0)
• G Bucket Fill — fill connected pixels of the same color
• L Line — straight lines between two points
• R Rectangle — outlined rectangles in the brush size
• C Circle — ellipses; hold Shift for a perfect circle
• V Move — move the layer's content
• I Eyedropper — sample a color from the canvas

Selection

• M Rectangle Select — drag to select a rectangular region
• Q Lasso — freehand selection
• W Magic Wand — select connected pixels of the same color

Hold Shift while dragging to add to the selection; drag with the right button to subtract. With an active selection: drag inside to move, arrow keys to nudge by 1 px, Delete to clear, Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V to copy / paste, Escape to deselect. Without a selection, copy, paste and Delete work on the whole layer in the current frame.

Drag a handle to scale (Shift keeps the proportions) or rotate (Shift snaps to 15°, Ctrl to 90°).

AI tool

• J AI Area — mark a region on the canvas for AI generation; Escape clears it
