Main Menu

The main menu is organized by function. Most features that exist in Krita are accessible via this main menu. Many of the common actions have keyboard shortcuts associated with them.

The menu system is almost never the fastest or most convenient way to do something. It gives you a rough table of contents of what the feature set of an application offers. You can see what exists and maybe what shortcuts are assigned.

Spend a few minutes if you want and look over all of the menu items. You will understand some menu items, while others will seem more obscure. Don’t worry about understanding everything right now. We will go over all of the menu actions by the end of the book.

Tip

Everything in the main menu can be assigned to a shortcut. Custom shortcuts will also appear in the main menu.
