  1. In addition, while having object(s) selected, zoom-in shortcuts like Ctrl +1, Ctrl+2 etc should ideally center the selection midpoint (or text cursor, if active) in the view, similarly as in InDesign (and to some extent QXP). This is an important usability feature and should be easy to implement; if there is any reason for not making it the standard behavior, it could be added as an option in the Preferences.

  2. Working with color is more or less awkward in current state of Affinity apps. As for adding colors as swatches, my preferred method is to create a dummy objects (e.g. rectangles) and then assign them one by one color values (either from the libraries, or by using sliders and desired color mode) and when done, activate the document palette, and select the colored dummy objects one by one, and clicking the "Add fill to palette" plus button to get the actual color value or library color name added as a swatch, and then right click the swatch and convert it to a global swatch.

    As for tints, ones added as swatches lose their parentship to the base color, so if you change the base color, the tints do not change accordingly, so if you need that feature you just need to assign the base color and specify tint values as ad hoc percentages.

    Also, as swatch names cannot be updated (automatically nor by command) based on edited color definitions, you need to do that manually.
