industrialstudios got a reaction from Andriu in How to Add Columns to text Frames in Designer?
I struggle with the notion that basic text formatting (or however you want to call it) would significantly add to the size and speed of designer.

Both my Macs have the same settings for trackpad usage (I consistently use tap to click; never a hard click), but guess what? On the first Mac I can now also use single click with the Control key. Totally beats me. So, assuming it keeps working like this, I withdraw my original conclusion that a Control+Double Click was needed. Will share it if the alternative behaviour returns (which I don't expect and hope 😃). Sorry for the confusion caused.

I don't have a MBP with a trackpad to test with, but I suspect somewhere in System Preferences > Trackpad > Point & Click you have different settings, maybe for Tap to Click or some such.

I tried on my other Mac and yes, there it uses the single click. Maybe one of the User Preferences (in Affinity or Mac System Preferences)?

At least on my Mac, it is just CTRL-single-click. No need to double-click.

Thanks. Ctrl on Windows is usually Cmd on Mac but there are a few exceptions, and that’s obviously one of them!

Looks like it's Control+Double Click on Mac. Can't get it to work with Cmd+Click.

Ctrl+click on Windows, Cmd+click on Mac.

‘Expand Stroke’ will leave you with a filled shape that mimics the stroke. If you only want a stroke, you need to use the Node Tool to select or create nodes at the ends of the line segment where the gaps should go, and then break the curve at those nodes so that you can discard the unwanted line segment.

Layer > Expand Stroke on the Pill shape Draw the small rectangle select both objects and use Layer > Geometry > Subtract (or the subtract icon on the top menu) There are other ways to achieve this shape such as using a curve and the layer blend mode: Erase, but it all depends on what format you are exporting to, so, if you require it to be a vector using blend modes is not an option because it will rasterise on export, if you want vector export use the method I've outlined above.

Interesting. One of the steps I tried was with the node tool, but not where you did. Thanks for everyones help!

Lovely when the software you choose just keeps getting better. The whole suite is a part of this, but mostly Publisher.

I just checked and it works in textedit but not Publisher.

industrialstudios reacted to fde101 in Full stop using spacebar on MacOS
Wait, you mean software actually does this intentionally? I had actually been thinking that had to be a bug, it is so stupidly annoying as I usually bump into that while typing monospaced text and using a series of spaces to align things for display on a terminal or some such...
Now that I know that, I finally went in and found that I can indeed turn it off. YES!!!
THANK YOU! Getting rid of that will make life much easier!

industrialstudios got a reaction from pyxelles in Custom Gradient and a warp tool for Affinity Designer.
This is something I used to use a lot when I used Macromedia FreeHand (before Adobe bought them). In FreeHand I could take a say three strokes with different colors, assign it whatever attributes (all matching aside from color) I wanted then have then select all three and say make a gradient. I could assign the number of steps in between each original stroke (again they all had to match) to make a custom gradient that I could edit the shape of. See Attached. Also a warp tool for vector shapes or vector groups. I know there is a skew feature, but that doesn't always work. I'd like to be able to use say the node tool on a group and using a modifier key let me do basic bending of an object.
