GIMP provides a comprehensive toolbox in order to quickly perform basic tasks such as making selections or drawing paths. The many tools contained within GIMP's toolbox are discussed in detail here.
(In case you're curious, in GIMP lingo a "tool" is a way of acting on an image that requires access to its display, either to let you indicate what you want to do by moving the pointer around inside the display, or to show you interactively the results of changes that you have made. But if you want to think of a tool as a saw, and an image as a piece of wood, it probably won't do you a great deal of harm.)

GIMP has a diverse assortment of tools that let you perform a large variety of tasks. The tools can be thought of as falling into five categories:
Selection tools, which specify or modify the portion of the image that will be affected by subsequent actions;
Paint tools, which alter the colors in some part of the image;
Transform tools, which alter the geometry of the image;
Color tools, which alter the colors in the image as a whole;
Other tools, which don't fall into the other three categories.
With GIMP-2.10.18, tool icons can be grouped, and this option is enabled by default. Tools groups are marked with a small dark triangle at the bottom right corner of the icon. The group icon displayed is the first icon in the group. Right click on the group icon to display the list of tools in the group.
You can get the former display back unchecking the Use tool groups option in Afsnit 1.13, “Værktøjskasse”.
Figur 14.1. The Tool Icons in the Toolbox
“Use tool groups” option unchecked. The default order of tools in the toolbox is different since GIMP-2.10.8; you can customize it in the Interface>Toolbox page of the Preferences.
Most tools can be activated by clicking on an icon in the Toolbox. By default, some tools are accessible only via the menus (namely the Color tools are accessible only either as or as → ). Every tool, in fact, can be activated from the Tools menu; also, every tool can be activated from the keyboard using an accelerator key.
In the default setup, created when GIMP is first installed, not all tools show icons in the Toolbox: the Color tools are omitted. You can customize the set of tools that are shown in the Toolbox in the Interface > Toolbox page of the Preferences.
There are two reasons you might want to do this: first, if you only rarely use a tool, it might be easier to find the tools you want if the distracting icon is removed; second, if you use the Color tools a lot, you might find it convenient to have icons for them easily available. In any case, regardless of the Toolbox, you can always access any tool at any time using the menu from an image menubar.
The shape of the cursor changes when it is inside an image, to one that indicates which tool is active (if in you have set → → → ).
