Use Drawing Tools without a Mouse

Is it possible to use commands for drawing instead of dragging the mouse? I.e., can people with movement disabilities use MS Paint? If so, it might be helpful to list the commands (or at least the source link for that information). Tesseract501 (talk) 15:33, 10 June 2023 (UTC) dfrfvdf[reply]

Color mode?

[The program can be in color mode or two-color black-and-white, but there is no grayscale mode.] What are they talking about when mentioning Color Mode, Two-Color Black-and-White Mode & Grayscale Mode? The application has a color palette you can use, but freely allows for 24-bit colors. I genuinely do not understand this line of text. QwertyPc Game17 (talk) 13:13, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

-Shouldn't we mention the Z-Soft heritage somewhere.  I'm quite sure the original Paintbrush for Windows was developed by them. They were previously producing PC Paintbrush, a drawing program for DOS. [[User:R4p70r|R4p70r]] 02:48, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

+== Color mode? ==
-:Maybe yes, and I guess it has something to do with the .PCX format not longer being supported by Paint since the days it was still called Paintbrush, as PCX is a Z-Soft proprietary format, essentially an RLE-encoded bitmap format [[User:EpiVictor|EpiVictor]] 07:07, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

-In the magnafying option, click on 8x. Then if you click below it like one pixel more, you can magnify 10x.
-Can we put that in this article?--[[User:198.147.225.76|198.147.225.76]] 00:20, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

-Now if only you could figure out how to get 4x in the dropdown instead of having to up and pick "large size"...
-== The SHIFT key ==
-This article mentions the SHIFT key to be used for the "Trail Mode" in the selection of the image but the SHIFT key has other functions:
-*Select a shape tool (circle, rectangle, and Ellipse) and hold down shift to make a perfect shape.
-*Select the line or curve and hold down shift to make a perfect line (though the curve will still be free to move around)
-*Select pencil and hold down shift the draw a perfect line, though unlike the line, only one axis is available and you cannot shrink it once you draw it.
-I'll add them to the article later but I'd have to clean it up first. --[[User:TKGB|TKGB]] 00:59, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

-== Is it possible to get hold of Paintbrush on WinXP, and use alongside MS Paint? ==
-I miss the color replace tool, that was removed from the new version.
-:Huh? Not it wasn't. The color replace tool is just the eraser used with the right mouse button. ☢ [[User:Kieff|Ҡieff]]⌇[[User_talk:Kieff|↯]]
-::It is possible, I tried to copy the win 3.1 files from the old computer to a directory on the new one, and it just worked :-) However, it is not without side effects: e.g. now the "normal" MS-Paint is unable to open files from the "open with..." menu. The only way this can be useful, is if you want to open .MSP or .PCX files (I remember on a real win 3.1 system, it could also open RLE and WMF) [[User:EpiVictor|EpiVictor]] 15:13, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
-== Bigger pencil tip? ==
-A friend of mine dropped his keyboard and said that now his pencil tool was making two-pixel wide marks instead of the regular one. Has this happened to anyone? To cure it, I just recommended he save, close, and reopen, and that fixed it, but I am still curious.
