How to open the Application settings

There are several sections

  • General

  • Shortcuts

  • Mouse

  • Touch

  • Toolbar

  • Grids

  • Other

General

This section has some settings related to the brush cursor, how the tool presets work, pasting settings, enable or disabling the tooltip guides, and how to change the language for the app.

Shortcuts

You can find and edit the keyboard shortcuts for Magma in the Shortcuts tab of the Application Settings. You can also set more than one shortcut for the same action.

To change a shortcut, tap on the + symbol next to the action, and then input your shortcut:

Mouse

If you are using a mouse with Magma, you can adjust what the mouse buttons and scroll wheel do.

Touch

If you are using Magma on a mobile tablet or touchscreen device, then the different touch gestures may be helpful.

In order to draw using your finger, it's important that the one-finger drag setting is set to Normal. For users on a touchscreen computer, please also check this guide if brush strokes are not appearing.

Toolbar

In the tool bar section, you can customize what tools appear when the layout is set to Simple or Full mode. It's not possible to adjust this for Super Simple mode yet.

To move tools into the More tools group, you can simply click/tap and drag it from the left column to the right side.

Grids

This section contains settings for the Perspective grid tool and that standard pixel grid that appears when you zoom in on the canvas.

Other

In the Other section there are some voice call settings and the option to reset all of your Magma settings to their deault. This applies to all settings in the editor, tools settings, shortcuts, and saved tool presets.
