    We can customize the modifier keys in VectorStyler and in free open-source software like Blender/ Godot, so we should also be able to do it in Affinity
  2. gotanidea
    To resize or scale an object from its center, we can hold Ctrl key and drag one of the object's corner handles. I want to change the modifier key to Alt, but there is no option to do it. Please make the modifier keys customizable.
  3. gotanidea
    I'm going to make a request for it.

    I must've been drunk when I was scaling the objects. Could we change the Ctrl-drag to Alt-drag, for resizing an object from its center?
  5. gotanidea
    To proportionally scale an object or to keep the object aspect ratio when scaling, we can hold the Alt key in Affinity Publisher. Could we change the modifier key to Shift?

    I tried to enable Num Lock as @walt.farrell suggested and I can create the special characters with the hotkeys (Alt + 0XXX keys). Apparently we have to enable Num Lock in Affinity software, which is not necessary in other software

    I don't think another app was interfering with the Character Map hotkeys, because I can use the hotkeys in other applications, apart from Microsoft Word. I have deactivated Microsoft PowerToys, yet the problem persists

    The special characters also appear as outlined boxes with Bodoni MT, Book Antiqua and Times New Roman fonts in all Affinity software on my WIndows 11 system. As for my keyboard layout, I set the [Time & language] > [Typing] > [Advanced Keyboard Settings] > I tried both [Use Language List] and [English (United States) - US] options

    Please find attached for a Publisher file Special_Characters_Not_Showing_Correctly.afpub

    It's weird, because I tried it with Arial, Bodoni MT, Book Antiqua and Times New Roman fonts. All those hotkeys I mentioned generated outlined rectangles instead of the correct special characters in all Affinity software

    I thought Publisher is more akin to Adobe InDesign. I was used to make layout design in Adobe Illustrator for individual pages and Adobe InDesign was just used to combine them

    I used to make all layout design in Adobe Illustrator for individual pages and Adobe InDesign was just used to combine them. I will just use VectorStyler if I don't make a book, because I'm so used to the old workflow

    I cannot insert special characters (Character Map) in all Affinity apps on Windows, using the Alt + 0149, Alt + 163, Alt + 169, Alt + 174 and Alt + 176 hotkeys. I can do it in other applications (Notepad, Notepad++, WPS Office, Libre Office and VectorStyler), except Microsoft Word. My operating system is Windows 11 Home Single Language 64-bit (10.0, Build 22000). This is the first time I installed Affinity software on my PC and the version is 2.0.3. I have restarted the PC after the installation is done.

    Visual/ graphical tab stop ruler is required to make tab stop creation more intuitive in Designer, as the ones in Adobe Illustrator (the one with Ctrl + Shift + T hotkey), Publisher and VectorStyler: Tab Stop Ruler in VectorStyler
  16. gotanidea
    It doesn't work. I will just make a request for the feature, because it's very important for a graphic design application and it's available in Adobe Illustrator/ VectorStyler
  17. gotanidea
    I tested it using Bodoni MT, Book Antiqua and Times New Roman fonts. I still get the rectangle instead of a bullet point. Unfortunately, I would have to use Glyph Browser or just use VectorStyler if I don't make a book with Designer/ Publisher
  18. gotanidea
    I can see the visual tab stop ruler in Publisher, by turning on the View > Show Text Ruler. But there is no such thing in Designer
  19. gotanidea
    Yes, I did exactly that
  20. gotanidea
    Thanks for the trick on Mac. I will make a new thread to ask for the tab stop feature for Designer
  21. gotanidea
    @v_kyr told me how to activate the tab stop feature for Designer on Mac. Do you happen to know how to activate that on Windows?
  22. gotanidea
    Yes, it's weird because I have never installed Affinity Designer on my PC before. This is how it looks like on my PC, using both Artistic Text Tool and Frame text Tool: https://ibb.co/3sxQkvk I just made a bullet point in VectorStyler and Notepad++, so this problem is strange
  23. gotanidea
    The font is Arial Regular and I just installed Affinity Designer. Do I have to set some stuff to use the Alt + 0149?
  24. gotanidea
    Thanks
  25. gotanidea
    These visual tab stops are draggable in VectorStyler: Draggable Tab Stops in VectorStyler Is there such feature in Affinity Designer?
