Thank you so much. I forgot to mention I had tried the touch screen key board and it did not work. But I did not know about the on screen keyboard (new to tablets), and that did the trick. I appreciate the very quick feed back! Mark

First Im new to this and I did try a search. Recently purchased a Surface Laptop Studio. I needed a new laptop and this one with the ability to fold flat over the keyboard and use as a tablet is perfect. This is my first tablet though. Basic question ... When I'm in tablet mode, folded flat over the keyboard, when drawing a shape I cant figure out how to constrain proportions without popping the screen up and reaching in to try and hit the shift key, very cumbersome. There doesn't seem to be a way to program my surface pen to use one of the buttons as a shift key. Sorry if this is a silly question for the pros, am I missing something simple, or is constraining without shift impossible? Forgot to add I am using V2 of all the Affinity Apps. Thanks, Mark

Hi my name is Mark I am an older retired dude in my 60's. I come from keeping up with all the Adobe products starting with plain ol version 5 (20 plus years ago?) up to the latest Creative Cloud updates. Never been more than a hobbyist though. Doing things for friends and family and freebee things for my old customers (I was in the copier/printer business for 40+ years). Recently I started designing sticker packs with my grand kids and grand nieces and nephews just for fun.

I don't have a problem with the price especially coming from Adobe Creative Cloud suite. I am a little bummed about the fact that I just purchased the Affinity suite on Sept 28th of this year. I asked before I purchased if I should wait for a little bit because there was skuttle butt that a newer version should be getting close. They emailed me and told me they really couldn't say when a new version was coming out, but they did offer me a 20 percent discount. I took it and am starting to get the hang of Affinity. I did retire awhile ago and am fixed income so spending the extra is a little bit of a hit ... but I Just Gotta Have It! Haha! Mark
