Great effort and reason to create this! I'm accustomed to using the Magic Wand tool in Paint.net[1] and Pinta[2] to select pixels based on color. Any chance you could add that functionality?

It lists Magic Wand under Features [1] https://github.com/groverburger/grobpaint/blob/e249c7553f4c8...
Yep, magic wand already exists with contiguous/global toggle and tolerance slider. : )
The name of this project brought many memories of the HP 48G to the forefront of my mind, after so many years. Its 1 bpp pixelated icons and drawings were indeed called GROBs - there are collections of these online. What a coincidental but fine name for a pixel-capable graphics editor.
Haha glad it brought back fond memories! Grob is just the nickname of my username GroverBurger. Fun coincidence.
Looks minimalistic and nice to use. I might try making a pixel icon for my app with it.
