User Manual trick- Scan the Index

Since the User Manual has no search function, I sometimes find it easier to scan the alphabetical Index at the very end.

There is also a Quick keys reference at Help> Gimp Online> User Manual Website> Keys and Mouse Quickreference (PDF). Unfortunately, some of the small text overwrites other text (English version). If I could find the icons for each keyboard key, I would re-do the page.

Control-F on the table of contents also works quite well...

I had a quick play too, trying my PDF extraction tool, but could find no images.

I think the solution may be to install a keycap font and start from scratch preparing a new document.

A quick search for:

free keycap font

revealed a number that should do the job.

Keycap Fonts (was: User Manual trick- Scan the Index)

I had a go at creating a wheel mouse in Gimp. Believe me, it was a heck of a learning exercise. Fortunately I have experience with Beziers. But I found the gradient tool awkward editing gradients, which I never did master.

Thanks for the suggestion re keycap fonts.

Rick
