Hi,

If you want fill color to selected area, in tool box see the background color and foreground color.click on foreground color and choose color what you want/ and press Alt+delete to fill color to selected area..If you want to fill background color press Ctl+delete.

or go to Edit menu > choose fill > Use contents> background color or foreground color.

Or use paint bucket tool.

Pattern
Fills the selection with a pattern. Click the inverted arrow next to the pattern sample, and select a pattern from the pop‑up palette. You can load additional patterns using the pop‑up palette menu. Select the name of a library of patterns, or choose Load Patterns and navigate to the folder containing the patterns you want to use.

You are right and the Paint Bucket is used for by clicking on a pixel in that area. The Paint Bucket tool does not require you to select the area to be filled. Its a proper way.
