MSPaint easter eggs and lesser known features
Closed this issue · 11 comments
Original MSPaint has some nifty and not so obvious behaviours. Maybe they can make their way into RPaint(as-is or refined).
-
the zoom has a 10x level. You have to click pixel perfect at bottom of zoom selector. Or can cheat and lengthen the zoom selector to have more area to click(windowspy or hexedit exe).
-
Shift + (L or R)Click + Drag has meanings depending on context.
- With a pencil/brush, it locks drawing in straight line(hor, vert, diag).
- With line, it does same locking, except you can rotate it in 45deg angles.
- With selection, it stamps that selection down like a brush.
- Eraser R click(colour mask eraser) already implemented.
-
Ctrl + NumPlus/NumMinus changes the size of brush, including those that don't have size option.
- Makes pencil/brush nib smaller or bigger.
- Resizes selection by 2x or 0.5x.
- Plays poorly with undo.

There's probably more, but I forgets.
Thanks for contribution.

I can't understand the meaning.
I can't understand meaning.
In MSPaint, when undoing strokes done with tool zoomed by Ctrl + Plus/Minus, the undo may leave garbage pixels behind.
I don't want to show garbage without meaning.
Good!
Fixed. Closed. Thank you very much!
