+| 2026-11-01 | patch | Shortcuts: the Layers panel opens with Ctrl+1 as well as Alt+1 on Windows and Linux ("Mac: Option 1 Windows: Ctrl 1" in Select layers and objects; "Windows: Alt 1" in Explore the navigation bar and left sidebar). macOS keeps Option+1. Found by a documentation audit of the shortcuts (every chord driven over the control channel). Tests: `keymap_tests::the_layers_panel_answers_both_of_its_documented_windows_keys`, the parity row. Counts unchanged |
 | 2026-10-31 | minor | M1, #1682: as the help center describes the colour picker, choosing Image no longer opens a file dialog at once: the tab shows a checkered placeholder and Upload from computer until there is a file. An image paint shows its asset preview with the same button. A file dropped on the open picker replaces the image and keeps the fill mode, crop, position and adjustments; on the placeholder it becomes the paint's image, filling the layer. While a file is dragged the picker says it takes it instead of the window saying Drop to import. New command `image.replace {ids?, target?, index?, data | path}`, through the same size cap and decoder as `image.place`; one undo step. Dropped files in the browser arrive as `data`. A native window or a browser doesn't say where a dragged file is, so a drop with no known position goes to the open picker, and one known to be over the canvas imports as before. Left: the Fill and Stroke swatches in the Design panel don't take a drop, since their place can't be told during a drag; pasting into the picker isn't documented and isn't added. Tests: `colorpicker_image_tests`, `image_crop_tests::replacing_an_image_keeps_its_fill_mode_crop_and_adjustments`. Numbers unchanged |
 | 2026-10-30 | minor | Gap 4: the keyboard's Menu key opens the context menu, as Shift+F10 does (at the focused layer row or below the canvas selection, with the keyboard in the menu). egui already reported the key; FigCraft's keymap had no name or binding for it. `view.contextMenu` now takes `Menu` too, and the Context menus row is done (`layers_keyboard_tests`). Stale rows corrected: smart-selection spacing has had reorder rings since the "M1: smart-selection drag reordering" landing (the row is still partial: irregular grids and several marked layers aren't covered), and gap 4 and the parity summary quoted shortcut counts from before the last bindings (now 128 bound, none missing, 57 undocumented pinned, as `shortcut_parity_tests` counts). |
 | 2026-10-30 | minor | M4, gap 4: the eyedropper with Cmd/Ctrl+Shift held makes a colour style or variable of the colour it picks, as the reference app's eyedropper does, instead of filling the selection. It asks the UI for a Create from color window (`dialog.createFromColor`; the control channel never opens it). The window shows the colour and offers Style or Variable, a name (the next free "Color n") and, for a variable, a collection: the file's first, or a new one made with it in the same undo step. Create runs `style.create` or `variable.create`. Tests: `eyedropper_create_tests`, `sampled_color_tests`. |
