<DIV>Hey, you’re so fast Joshua! :)</DIV>

<DIV><STRONG>Continuos Drawing:</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>I like the idea of E and D key to switch modes. I usually don’t use the pen
eraser (the back of the pen to erase), I found much faster hold some key to
switch modes but maybe someone else works that way and it could be a plus for
them.</DIV>

<DIV>About <A

. The easy way is to allow check and uncheck the “Continuos Drawing” checkbox
with your pen and maybe even allow to change draw modes “DRAW”, “ERASE”, “LINE”,
“POLY” also, Right now is not possible to change nothing without exit first what
you are doing. But I don’t know if this is technically possible or maybe have
some other issues.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>F Key</STRONG></DIV>
<DIV>Thanks to check possibilities to use F key while erasing! I think that
maybe this could be use also to tweak the stroke thickness when you are
drawing.</DIV>

<DIV>Let me know if you need something else</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>PS. If you're thinking to work a lot on Grease Pencil (and I'd love it!)
you definitely should go for that tablet! Ask Ton ;)</DIV>

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>1.- When drawing with "Continuous Drawing" enabled, it is now possible to
quickly use the eraser for one-off strokes without exiting the drawing mode,
starting again with the eraser, and then exiting and returning to the original
mode. (18e849b)</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#4f81bd>> Great update! I love it. Right now the only way
to use that with the pen tablet is holding right button on the pen to switch
modes, but I wonder if this could be switch using some keyboard shortcut. What
is your idea to support better the
tablets?</FONT></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV><BR>Actually, I was pondering the idea of adding stuff like pressing EKEY
to switch to the eraser, and D to start drawing again. Probably all that would
be nicer if we also got a dedicated "modal keymap" for handling stuff within the
sketching session.<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Another idea I had was that perhaps it should handle the tablet eraser
events too - since I don't have one myself (well, yet... ;), I can't really say
whether this is really something that seems so natural to have.<BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV>BTW, do you have any thoughts about what we could do for resolving <A
href="https://developer.blender.org/T43867">https://developer.blender.org/T43867</A>
? It's about exiting draw mode when you have no keyboard<BR></DIV>

<DIV>2.- The appearance of the eraser has been improved, to make its purpose
clearer (da78d2d74255)</DIV>
<DIV><I><FONT color=#4f81bd>> The icon disappear when you are erasing
without holding right button. Example: When you select ERASE and then click
(left button) with the mouse or use a pen tablet without holding right button,
the eraser still works but don't show the icon. (I reported a BUG here:

<DIV>Ack! Probably partially caused by my own tweaks here for the previous
changes :( But, at least Severin is on it!

<DIV>3.- F can be used to control the size of the eraser in Strokes Edit Mode
(ab3f037)</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#4f81bd><I>> Thanks to include that! I Love it. Anyway
right now you can only tweak the size on edit mode but not when you are
already erasing. This could be
possible?</I></FONT></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>

<DIV>It doesn't really work that well with the modal operator, but I could have
a play around. My guess though is that this just ends up being crazy bad really
quick, unless we start duplicating that functionality here... <BR></DIV>

<DIV>2.- Grease Pencil data and layers are now shown in the Outliner
(68fc2e2)</DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#4f81bd><I>> Amazing! Grease Pencil is started treated as
any other object in Blender. Way to go!. I noticed that the outliner only show
the currently used GP datablock, not all of them if there are. This is the
intended behaviour? If we show every GP datablock on outliner, could be a fast
shorcut to change between them. What do you think?</I></FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
<DIV>It's currently only showing the ones that are actually attached to
something. It might be an idea to show all of them in some dedicated mode, or
something similar though. Will need to think about it a bit more.<BR></DIV>
