In the top-left corner of document windows, you'll find the Tools palette. Pixen includes 14 tools to help you compose pixel art. You can hover over a tool to see its full name and assigned keyboard shortcut. You can customize the keyboard shortcuts in Pixen's Settings window.
Pixen also lets you assign different tools to the left and right mouse buttons. One example: Pencil on the left; Eraser on the right. Simply expand Right Tool and pick a tool to assign to the right mouse button.
To select a tool, simply click its icon. The Tool Properties bar, found near the top of document windows, lets you further customize how tools behave. Line width and fill style are a few of the tool properties you'll find.
