Toon Boom Tool-Swap

A plugin that adds two groups of hotkeys to Toon Boom Harmony: one to easily swap between the brush and pencil tools, and one to activate the cutter and select tools without affecting the alt key's bindings.

Features

Brush / Pencil Unification

Most other painting applications don't have a separation between a brush tool and a pencil tool in the same way that Harmony does, which can make the application difficult to work with if your hotkey muscle memory is accustomed to only having one key that activates your drawing tool. This plugin adds a new hotkey, activateDrawingTool, that will activate either the brush or the pencil tool depending on which one you are currently using. You can then use the switchDrawingTool hotkey to switch your currently active tool from brush to pencil or vice-versa.

Freeing The Alt Key

Currently Harmony is set up to have the alt key temporarily switch to the cutter and select tools, which can lead to conflicts if you want to use alt + <some key> as a hotkey for something else. This plugin adds two hotkeys, switchToCutter and switchToSelect, that allow you to activate the cutter and select tools without affecting the alt key's bindings.

Installation

First download the latest version here. Create a folder called packages in your user scripts directory if it doesn't already exist, then copy the TBToolSwap folder into it. You can find the new hotkeys in the hotkeys menu under the section ollyisonit-TBToolSwap.
