Hi,
Is there a shortcut for toggling snapping button on/off?
or can we create one?
thanks,
Olaf

Hi I'm new here,
 
In Illustrator a simple click on the "Unite" pathfinder and/or "Minus front" will do the trick.
 
I understand this is not possible yet,
so whats the best way to do this in Designer?
 
Really want the go with Affinity now, so I hope someone can help, thanks

Hi Olaf Rubens,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
There's no easy way to solve this in Designer yet. If you were working only with fills, i would say to change the Layer ▸ Fill Mode to Winding (Non Zero), but it will not work for strokes.
So what i suggest is to duplicate the object, delete all nodes of the duplicate around the overlapping areas keeping just a section covering the "hole" (the yellow area in my example below), then perform an add boolean operation between the original and the duplicate.
