Tool procedure or shortcut procedure?

I have written some scripts for enhancing my workflow (like in Photoshop creating a floating selection with or without copy). But what i'm missing is the possibility to activating s specific tool (for instance the moving tool) via script. It seems there is no way wether with "gimp-movingtool" or something like "gimp-shortcut v".

Is it possible to have a tool selection procedure or a shortcut procedure for Script-Fu?

Thanx.

Karamba! Bart.

That particular function is built into gimp. CTRL-ALT- and ALT-SHIFT-

Currently there is no PDB interface to many of the elements of the GUI. In some cases this makes sense (zoom isn't meaningful), in other cases not (it would be useful to be able to chain up dialogs.. for instance scaling a layer and then scaling the image)

Thanx.

Karamba!
Bart.

In general the GIMP GUI isn't scriptable at all. It might make sense to change that at some point, but it would certainly be a major undertaking. Not sure if we want to open that can of worms right now. Given that that there only very active developers, I am inclined not to promise anything. If development continues at the current pace, it will soon grind to a halt anyway.
