I'm running Gimp 2.10.30 on Windows 10 Home.
I haven't used GIMP very much the last couple of years but used to use it fairly regularly. I'm frustrated to find that I've forgotten something very basic: how do I get the full toolbox that used to come up when I created or edited an image?
If I go to Windows/Toolbox (or simply do a CTRL-B), I get a subset of the full set of tools but I don't get *all* of the tools the way I used to. If I hover over one of the tools in this partial toolbox, it will typically say that it is one of the members of a given family, e.g MyPaintBrushTool will indicate that it is a part of a group with the Pencil tool, the Paintbrush tool etc. but if I try to click on one of the other group members, like Pencil tool, the hover menu just disappears and I don't get the Pencil tool to come up.
Is there some way to get GIMP to display all of the tools in the toolbox, not just one member in each group, or, failing that, to select OTHER members of the group once I've clicked on another member in the same group in the (partial) tool bar?
Just to be clear, when I refer to the "full" toolbox, I'm referring to the one that you see in this short video:
