How do you toggle, switch, or use the alternate color in Gimp without jumping over to the toolbox and clicking the little toggle arrows? Is there a keyboard shortcut? I expected there to be a keyboard-mouse combo that would use the alternate color.

enter image description here

  • Left mouse draws the primary color.
  • Left mouse + Ctrl uses the color picker.
  • Left mouse + Shift draws a straight line with the primary color.
  • Left mouse + Alt drags the window (I'm running Linux).
  • Right mouse opens the context menu.

The keyboard shortcut to swap the foreground and background colours is x.

You can also adjust the shortcuts in Preferences -> Interface -> Configure Keyboard Shortcuts.

The one for swapping foreground and background is called "Swap Colors".

You can see all/most of the default Gimp keyboard shortcuts here: http://www.gimpusers.com/gimp/hotkeys
