I wonder if it is possible to change the behavior of the color palette as to change the stroke color (as opposed to the fill color) with a simple click.
I mainly write text+outlines, using the freehand tool and a wacom tablet and occasionally have to switch colors. It's inconvienent to reach for the keyboard and press SHIFT+Color click to do this, especially because my wacom's extra keys are bound to more important stuff than shift.
I hope this isn't a FAQ, but I didn't find it in there. And, if it's possible by editing some source code I'm willing to do so, but need a pointer.
It's very possible, but we probably want to do it "right".
That would involve a generic mechanism, and leveraging as much consistency across all functionality in the application as possible. That latter part mainly comes down to mean "let's just make sure the app doesn't feel like a dozen different pieces were just slapped together".
The first step would be to skim the launchpad bug tracker to make sure this is not already requested. As long as it's not, go ahead and add a new bug/request for it.
There's a lot of potential in that area, and I'm already working on dynamic interface functionality for tablet integration, so this could fit in very shortly.
