I would like to be able to easily toggle between the Paintbrush with brush
Circle (05) and an Eraser with brush Circle (17). I want to write one
script for each and bind them to keys I can use to make this switch
quickly. I have found the commands to set the brushes to either Circle
(05) and Circle (17) and have written that part of each script and bound
them to Alt-1 and Alt-2, so I can quickly change between the two brush
radii, but I can't seem to find script fu commands to set the active tool to
either Eraser or Paintbrush. Is there a way to do that from a script?
No (and AFAICS, there will never be -- it has too much potential to
confuse the user and introduce race conditions.)
I was going to mention you could use xdotool to trigger the keyboard
shortcuts for Eraser or Paintbrush,
but actually you can't (not in Script-Fu; I always use Python to write
my GIMP plugins, and I can shell out to xdotool easily enough in
Python)
