Hello everyone, I thought I would pull a Bulia and drop some features. When doing web design and pre-layout, I found it annoying that I could'nt get the hex value of colors, so I added a "Copy as Hex" button when using the eye dropper to get a color value.
Actually you could always do this just by pressing Ctrl+C, which will copy the color under cursor. What would your button copy? The color you have last selected? So you must click the color first (making sure nothing is selected, to avoid repainting), then go to the toolbar and click the copy button. Two clicks instead of one shortcut.
Not everyone is as smart as you to know these magical shortcuts, even with documentation. They are helpful for new users and for getting last selected color.
I just reread my reply to this and wanted to apologize to Bulia for this bad wording. I didn't mean to be rude with that comment. I meant to say, that users might not be as well informed as some of the more experienced users. Also, it is helpful to unearth some features like this which can really help some tasks like web page design, etc. Yes, there are many shortcuts, but after watching my girlfriend use Inkscape, especially after usign Illustrator, I notice how much she uses the menu and buttons and does not use shortcuts.
