Keyboard Shortcuts
Keyboard shortcuts allow you to adjust painting styles and color without having to
navigate menus.
While painting:

Hold Option or Alt while clicking to pick a color in the viewer.
While cloning:
Option-click or Alt-click to set the clone source position. Strokes start cloning from the
selected location.
Hold O to temporarily enable a 50% transparent overlay of the clone source (% can be
changed with pref Tweaks.CloneOverlayBlend).
Press P to toggle an opaque overlay of the clone source.
While overlay is showing:

angle control or size sliders.
Option + Left/Right or Alt + Left/Right Arrow keys change the clone source angle.
Option + Up/Down or Alt + Up/Down Arrow keys change the clone source size.
Shift + Command or Shift + Ctrl can be used with the above for greater or lesser
adjustments. Left and right square brackets, [ and ], change the clone source Time

With a single stroke selected (not available on multi or polyline strokes):
Press X or Y to flip the stroke.
