QuickColor is a plugin which enables you to set a hotkey for each of the first five colors of a palette. This means you can swap between the colors of your palette on the fly, even if your palette docker is not visible.

I wrote this plugin to use for screencasting, where switching rapidly between colors is a very useful tool.

To use the plugin, follow the instructions in the readme.

Note: You will need to create a palette named “QuickColor” containing the colors you want to assign hotkeys to.

Remember to enable the plugins (go to settings > configure krita… > python plugin manager, and check the box to the left of QuickColor0, QuickColor1, etc.)

When you have enabled the plugins, you need to manually set the hotkeys (settings > configure krita… > keyboard shortcuts). I personally use ASDF for my four main colors.
