P: Copy Paste Shape Color

I agree with Octop. Drag+alt from the colour square in the layers palette onto other shape layers. This seems obvious, given that copying layer styles works the same way. I know that would only copy the colour to one layer at a time, but it would still solve the tedium in a lot of circumstances.

how about alt + dragging the color from one shape layer to another to change the value quickly?

Actually... I really like the idea of having the HEX auto selected. So much that I've opened a new idea for it 🙂

Color picker with hex selected would definitely make it quicker, I've wished for that before. But I want/need something even quicker. Especially if I am changing multiple layers.

Currently my keyboard maestro shortcut works very well, I'd just like to rely less on it and have these things better implemented within Photoshop in the first place.

I like the idea. Agree with Chris in that there's a lot of things to be considered.

I don't know how, but I'd like a quicker way to do this, too. Maybe the colour picker should always open with the HEX field selected?

Even then, there are at least 3 possibilities for confusion of the target, and probably more that I haven't realized yet.

I've set up a shortcut on keyboard maestro so that alt+cmd+c = copy color.
It then runs through the many steps necessary to copy the colour and again for pasting. But at least for me it's a shortcut away.

One way to do it with simple cmd C/V is to know whether a user clicked the layer, the colour of the layer or the path. Similar to how it can differentiate between clicking layer and path.

How do you select the color to indicate you want to copy just the color?
If you select the layer, you could mean to copy the layer, or the pixels of the layer, or the color (or other fill), etc.

That's why you have an extra step, to explicitly indicate that you are copying the color. We might make it take fewer clicks (and i usually just create a swatch because it is fewer clicks) -- but you still have to somehow target the color to copy the color.
