Can you turn it on and off easily? I know my way around photoshop but still want to learn vanilla gimp.

I've never understood the purpose of PhotoGimp. I get why it exists. But it doesn't do anything magical that GIMP isn't already designed to let you do in the first place...which is move around, open, close and organize any window or dock into any place you want.

Anyone who has used GIMP for more than a few days has long since organized it to their own personal workflow; even some that look like photoshop.

The same goes for keyboard shortcuts. You can change literally everything about how GIMP looks anytime you want. So why lock yourself into some script that makes it look like a clone of some corporate crap, and worse...donate to the guy who designed said script as though he made something significant that no one else could achieve.

It's very existence is a lie. Users aren't locked into anything and he didn't do some magic to change that. It's literally how GIMP is designed to be customized.

Play with it. Have fun with it. That's the entire point.
