Well if u have to lock the trapsarency before filling the layer but u're tired to do, do this:

select the layer and press shift+alt+backspace now your layer is filled with foreground color with transparency locked too. if u want to fill with the background color just press shift+ctrl+backspace.

see ya

Thanks ApWizard, that was new for me

theKeeper

Ayup... knew that.

Thanks for bringing to others attention though.
And on another note... i never did like using the BackSpace key for filling. Too far & too tight to reach. I just use the Delete key instead. [honesty]

ApWizard

good! i don't know this, now i know[bustagut]

thanks u

A filling shortcut that's undocumented, as far as I know:

To get the Fill dialog box: Shift-Delete. There are times you need the dialog, like when filling with a pattern.

theKeeper

aaa really?! Cool, didn't know that one. Ya that IS needed, for me mostly when i want to fill 50% gray... it's quicker than setting up the colour editor.

Thanks! [excited]

PS: considering how often i've used Ctrl+Delete, i'm surprised i haven't hit that short-cut by accident... guess that's just another testiment to my fabulous digital dexterity.

I have always pressed Alt+delete to fill with foreground and ctrl+delete to fill with background but I have never tried the shift+delete ta [righton]
