Hey everyone! Thanks for participating in Canvas. I wanted to make a thread to collect together suggestions people have that can be worked on before the next Canvas.

Feel free to also throw in suggestions for future Events we can build and run for the fediverse.

Ill be collecting suggestions together and making issues for them in the repository for myself or some other contributors to work on (the projects open source so anyones free to contribute! https://git.sc07.company/sc07/canvas Feel free to reach out to me and I can help get you set up with the codebase)

Extra editing features:

  • Colour picker (from canvas)
  • Show symbols/numbers on palette when using that template display style (e.g. label colour 23 so you don't have to count)

You could middle click to color pick in the event

How would you do that on mobile

[–] Ategon@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I remember there was some equivalent action but dont know for sure what it was since I didnt use mobile

[–] grant@toast.ooo 1 points 1 year ago

i've created an issue to add color picking for mobile :)

Oh, really? I thought middle-click was for scrolling.

i've created an issue for changing the color picking button to something else

i originally picked middle click because that's what minecraft did lol

scrolling the scroll wheel scrolls the map and clicking down on the wheel over a pixel color picks

[–] Deebster@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You mean holding the scroll-wheel and dragging moves around, yes? (And the scroll-wheel was for zooming.) I think I'd accidentally triggered the colour picker accidentally, since I did find that I often had black when I was expecting something else - now I know why!

Oh huh I didnt even realize you could pan like that, guess one of those has to be removed and moved to something else unless its detected between hold and tap

the alternative template styles were a bit last minute, so i originally missed adding the numbers to the palette 😅

there's an issue for the palette colors so i can keep track of it :)
