What problem do you see this solving?
Faster workflow, especially on bulk edits. Reduce need for external rotary controllers.
When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
Every time I edit a photo

Current workaround
Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One? I have a loupedeck live and a binepad rotary encoder. The loupedeck has a lag on keystroke input on the wheel. the binepad works great but it would be nice to reduce desk clutter. |
For anyone interested on Windows, if you bind Ctrl+Shift+[ and Ctrl+Shift+] to "Rotate +/- 0.1°", and then UNBIND Ctrl+T and Ctrl+Shift+T from "Show Tools" and "Place Tools on Right" you can then run the following in AutoHotkey:
#HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe CaptureOne.exe")t & WheelUp::Send("{Ctrl Down}{Shift Down}{[}{[}{Shift Up}{Ctrl Up}")
t & WheelDown::Send("{Ctrl Down}{Shift Down}{]}{]}{Shift Up}{Ctrl Up}")
#HotIf
There might be a way to get AHK/C1 to play more nicely together with respect to the necessary unbinding but I couldn't figure it out just now and had work to get on with!
Also if you have a fast moving scrollwheel you may need to extend A_MaxHotkeysPerInterval to something a little more generous, such as A_MaxHotkeysPerInterval := 200
Further if you want to bind a key to brush size, just do the following, for example G :
#HotIf WinActive("ahk_exe CaptureOne.exe")
t & WheelUp::Send("{Ctrl Down}{Shift Down}{[}{[}{Shift Up}{Ctrl Up}")
t & WheelDown::Send("{Ctrl Down}{Shift Down}{]}{]}{Shift Up}{Ctrl Up}")
g & WheelUp::Send("{[}")
g & WheelDown::Send("{]}")
#HotIf
I've gone through hoops to get AutoHotkey to send the keybound controls to rotate L+R but it'd be nice to have a speededit key for rotation so this wouldn't be necessary.
Wolfgang, thank you for the suggestion. I had forgotten we were able to do that. I’m going to mess around with it a bit, and I am on windows on the way. I imagine the functionality will be the same, I believe this will Cure what ails me.
368074128197 in my opinion SpeedEdit is most effective when holding the SE-key with the left hand and using the mouse (Apple touch, no wheel) to finely adjust the value.
David obviously wants to use an external controller, which would be even better suited for rotation adjustments.
379973326437 There is already a better shortcut to change the brush size and hardness: holding CTRL+ALT on mac and dragging the mouse in either horizontal or vertical direction. If you are painting a mask then you are obviously already holding a mouse or a digital pen.
Holding down a single key and using the mouse wheel to change the brush size (or change the rotation) in my opinion, would be easier. I don’t think you’re misunderstanding.
I'm not sure I understand. If I want to use speed edit on, say, Exposure, I have to hold down Q and then press some other key (up arrow or right arrow to increase it, or down arrow or left arrow to decrease it). Adjusting the brush size with the [ or ] key is even easier - just one key to press. But maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean by a speed edit toggle.
And yes, I know there is a keyboard shortcut for rotation but you can't set it as a speed edit item - so I'm agreeing with you about that!

I’m not asking for keyboard shortcuts, I’m asking for a speed edit toggle.
Also rotation does have a keyboard shortcut, that’s how I tie it to a wheel.
Brush size (and hardness) can already be controlled with a key. The defaults are [ and ] for size (in common with a lot of other software) and Shift-[ and Shift-] for hardness. They are among the editable keyboard shortcuts so you could change them to anything you liked.
Rotation would be nice.
