[Inkscape-devel] Stippling with Inkscape

Hi Guys, I want to do some stippling with Inkscape. Ie. laying down lots of small black (ink) dots to build up detail in a picture. Now I can make an appropriate size dot and copy it using Ctrl+C but what about laying it down? Using Ctrl+V with my left hand and moving the mouse with my right hand is really clunky and slow. Can the Ctrl+V combination be re-assigned, briefly, to the left mouse button? This would make the technique one handed and quite workable I think. If so, how do I do it?

Some time ago someone mentioned an object "hose". This also sounds as if it might do the job. Is this a reality or a pipedream?

fingers crossed, vellum.
