1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack users for any reason. This includes using blanket terms, like "every user of thing".
  • Don't get baited into back-and-forth insults. We are not animals.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn, no politics, no trolling or ragebaiting.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, <loves/tolerates/hates> systemd, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.
    • 5. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ Language/язык/Sprache
  • This is primarily an English-speaking community. πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§πŸ‡¦πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ

  • The substance of a post should be comprehensible for people who only speak English.
  • Titles and post bodies written in other languages will be allowed, but only as long as the above rule is observed.
    • 6. (NEW!) Regarding public figuresWe all have our opinions, and certain public figures can be divisive. Keep in mind that this is a community for memes and light-hearted fun, not for airing grievances or leveling accusations.
  • Keep discussions polite and free of disparagement.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't remove France.

    You can deselect all with CTRL + SHIFT + A and deselect a specific part by changing the selection mode from replace or additive to subtract.

    imagine locking deselection behind a keybind nobody will know about

    [–] kspatlas@lemm.ee 15 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

    It's literally at the top of the select menu

    Everyone just confirming aliteral's point.

    [–] festnt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 9 months ago

    interesting, i guess i just never checked.

    i always just left clicked outside of the selection box to deselect

    When I was learning about GIMP key shortcuts I was like "Ctrl+A selects everything, Ctrl+Shift+A deselects everything. Makes sense."

    And then I went to most of the other apps. "Ctrl+D? Well it's one less keypress, but... WHY?"

    To be fair, I get it now, I've used plenty of image editors and I remember the keybinds wherever I am. Just that I sometimes find it annoying that The Other Software hasn't adopted logical keybindings.

    (I find it particularly annoying that a lot of image editors try to be fancy and sophisticated and Photoshop-compatible and think it's at all appropriate to use Ctrl+NumpadPlus and Ctrl+NumpadMinus for zooming. Just use what GIMP uses! NumpadPlus and NumpadMinus. It's not hard! What are you using the plain plus and minus for, anyway? Absolutely nothing! I just checked, I need to use Ctrl in Affinity Photo. Plain plus and minus are useless. I see you. ...oh I can just rebind these. Done.)

    I just change certain keybinds to be GIMP-like whenever I switch drawing programs.

    N is the pencil, CTRL-SHIFT-A is deselect. There's something else, but I can't remember right now.

    Do you know of any good video tutorials? There are so many I don't know where to start. I tried one and it seemed too fast paced and not that helpful.
