This is in part because unlike regular key bindings, they offer shortcuts for the full range of opacities in 1% steps. That is done by waiting briefly after one of the number keys is pressed to see if another one is pressed. If it is, then the second one becomes the second digit in the percent. So for example, pressing 1 immediately followed by pressing 2 sets opacity to 12%.
It's a clever idea in theory but in practice I think many of us, myself included, would prefer some way to disable it because it is too easy to hit a number key by accident.
Hi there,
By default in Affinity Publisher on windows the keybindings for 'set global opacity' are set to the number keys 0-9.
I've never used the global opacity - but sometimes unintentionally I've caught a number key by mistake unknowingly.
This is massively dangerous. If I have ever while working in a document hit a number key without realising it while something is selected, not only will that thing have its opacity changed which I don't want, if text is selected this will cause Publisher to raster that text on export for my projects.
But, the keybindings don't seem possible to change. Apart from this critical issue, I'd love to be able to bind 0-9 to something useful to me!
The above flaw very nearly caused a horrible printing issue in the main print run of my self-published book - I know to look out for it now and I go manually from page to page after every export checking for rasterised text, in a 160+ page book.
Am I missing something?
Thanks!
