You are currently expected to use the appropriate selection tools and
then fill the resulting selection.
see

Do you mean, like GIMP's paths tool? (key shortcut = B)

Easily done -- a gradient can have however many colors you want.
1. Bring up the Gradients dialog
2. Create a new gradient
3. Double-click on it to edit it
4. Make the necessary changes (you can use 'split uniformly' to split
a given gradient segment into several segments. If you can find a menu
item like this but it doesn't read sensibly, then that is a bug in the
translation, which you should report.)

You can assign a key shortcut yourself.
