Cheatsheet for the GIMP
One of the biggest challenges for starting out with new software is learning all of the new keyboard shortcuts.
If you've just started with The GIMP, help is at hand with a useful list of hotkeys over at Gimpusers.com.
It covers all of the different tools and dialogues. Sadly it hasn't been there isn't a printable version but it is still very useful.
Depending on how adventurous you are, it is possible to reassign all the keyboard shortcuts. This is particularly helpful when moving from one image editor to another.
Click on the File menu and then Preferences.
Click on the Interface button in the left hand menu and then on Configure keyboard Shortcuts
All of the possible keyboard shortcuts are shown in the next window, organised by the menu or tool.
Click on the small plus next to each section to see the available options
Click on an option and then press the keyboard shortcut to use for it. Pressing escape cancels the change, if you happen to click on the wrong one.
Click on the Close button when you are happy with the changes.
The previous window also offers the opportunity to save the changes immediately, or to reset them back to the defaults.
