Is that a question about keyboard shortcuts, or a feature request for more shortcuts, or just a statement about the existing shortcuts?
Because InDesign and Publisher have different ways of working, and have different feature sets, there will probably always be certain shortcuts in one which don’t (and may never have) have an equivalent in the other.
If you can be a bit more specific about what you are wanting/suggesting/asking then we can probably help further.

Which, of course, like everything generated by AI, is accurate and completely reliable! 😁
 

I like the new version but I can't buy it now, I still have the old version, until I buy it I will have to use alternative methods to reuse one or more files created in the new version, so next time I am already aware that I will only do tests until I make the purchase if I don't have this bad experience.

Too bad experience... I've tested the new version and I'm obliged to buy it? 

Why can't we save v1 format files from v2???
This is a real adobe level bait and switch. Absolutely crazy that there is no way to pass files between the versions.

Who gave you these instructions?
So this is an exercise to familiarise yourself with Affinity Publisher, to create a template for repeatable web graphic generation in publisher for export into file formats, such as png, webp and jpeg. 

This is not a good idea to ask existing license holders of version 1.0 to pay for version 2.0 upgrade, generally it comes free.

I have now done that, but nobody else seems confused and if they are I will tell them

"These Forums are not for sharing AI created artwork, or discussions regarding AI prompts to create specific images.
The 'Share your work' section of the Forums are designed for sharing work specifically created within or using the Affinity apps.
When sharing work, we ask users to provide an explanation of the tools/workflows they used with the Affinity apps, so that other members can have a better idea of the possibilities of the Affinity apps functions - though this is not a strict requirement."
Opening a picture or photo and then printing or exporting it unedited is not sufficient to be covered under the term "using", even though technically English is unclear on this. "using" in that sentence means adding to or changing in a significant or non-obvious, novel or interesting way that others may appreciate.   

No it was not. If you want to play semantics (which you always do) then I could change the definition of what is allowed to make sure they are excluded. Stop bellyaching. Just assume that we will not allow them no matter what the wording says, because that is what is happening, like it or not.

While I somehow understand your frustration, do not blame others for your own faults. What you buy is clearly mentioned on several pages on Serifs website.
When I moved from my Macbook back to Windows several years ago, I checked upfront whether my licenses are valid on the new platform.

I don't use Photo a lot but in Publisher, I sometimes use the Pixel persona for specific photo tasks. If I encounter a problem there, should I post my question in Publisher, Photo or General section?
Also when in the respective main persona, there are tools common to the 3 apps and others specific to this app. How should I know which are which?
For example, Text styles, Paragraph and Character panels are common to the 3 apps but Text Frame and TOC panels are specific to Publisher.
This means if I have a problem with a coloured text frame in Designer (it happens: [1], [2],…), I'll probably need to use Publisher to correct it. So what? Where to post?
I agree though that better using tags when needed should be helpful.  

It is repeatedly shown that the way of setting the page orientation is not intuitive. Users are looking for orientation settings on the right side of the window.

This has been discussed many times.
The rationale for the current structure is that many functions of the applications are common both across all three applications and at least Windows and macOS. Therefore it makes no sense to separate questions about the applications by platform, except for separating iPadOS (which they have done) as its UI is so different. Similarly, if you have a question about creating documents, or using Adjustments, or Exporting, or <insert long list here> the questions and answers are common to Publisher, Designer, and Photo.
 

But an interesting discussion of what?
There's not much interesting in putting an image onto a larger page, and producing a PDF.
If you were wanting a discussion of your AI-generated art, that is not something that is related to the Affinity applications, and not really appropriate here.

The number of views a thread has received cannot be taken, by any reasonable person, as a measure of popularity, intent of participation, or even interest in the subject of that thread.
Just because a traffic accident happens near someone as they were out walking doesn’t mean they were wanting/expecting to see it.
Just because lots of people will watch footage of a disaster on the evening TV news doesn’t mean that they want to be part of it.
Just because a CCTV system records footage of a dog playing with a ball doesn’t mean that the CCTV system was installed to record footage of dogs playing with balls.
Since you have no knowledge of who, or what, is accessing a thread, or why they/it are doing so, it would be foolish to infer any intent/interest from that action.
Without context, the number of views is just a number, no more than that.

The page size and margins would be the limiting factor and pretty much dictate the grid size, so I'd work it out from there, what could you comfortably fit within the margins of a given page size.

Why are you so obsessed with how many views a thread you start gets? Just because people look at a thread it does not mean that they agree with you, or even that they are interested in it. I'm sure that many people, like myself, look at many threads, but having seen the content, then decide that they are actually of no interest!

Hi @Panchdara,
The messaged shown for unsuccessful sign in attempts is deliberately vague to prevent nefarious individuals from bulk trying different emails to attempt to discover if an Affinity Forum account exists for that email address.
It is the hope that users will know which email address they used for their Affinity Forum account, can double-check the email themselves for typos and should they continue to have issues signing in, will contact us directly for further advice.
 

How did you get to that page?  When the in-app popup message for the update appears and you click on the Download button, you'll be taken to this page which offers the MSIX and MSI versions.
If you went to our main website and logged into this page and viewed your licences, then you will get shown a page like you show in the screenshot and scrolling that page down you'll see some text 'Looking for Windows MSI installers?' and clicking there, you'll be able to download the EXE/MSI installer.

They should know. They had to create an account at the Affinity Store, and they also had to create an account for the Affinity forums. 

I want to add that it might be usefull to leave a little of the shadow in to make the image look more convincing. Human eyes can easily and intuitivly tell that something is wrong - even if they can't explicitly say what it is. The mountains in the right half of the pictures do have shadows and do not fit well with the manipulated mountain.

Hey @Patrick Connor,
I was wondering why paying customers, have to have a certain... ahmmm, requirements to have a lil pic on the forum. Hell im already contributing to the company... Its a lil silly to have on top of it a rep system. Im saying this because yes, im not really that active on the forum, cus well, life ehheh and I dont have much to nag about hihihh But i do occasionally like to give my two cents or upvote peoples suggestions. Im saying its silly because... well, every single site as a avatar function by default even ones made by the company, and since this is a creative company it would be a given to have at least couple of default avatars to choose from. To be totally fair, being a bit imposing, by-default avatars should be the go to because: company control on moderation; low server side storage; quality control...

Is there any thing you can say about why this is serifs decision?

P.S. Im super inclined now to make default avatars for serif..... 🤔 🤔🙂

Yup! Ya'll are right, I don't need the Develop Persona, I was just missing the adjustment's tab from my workspace window so making any adjustment took a lot more searching than I wanted. Now that I have the adjustment's tab in view it's quick and easy to edit any of my photos! And thank you to @Hangman for the article! This community has already been so helpful, I think Affinity is going to end up being the right software for me after all, in large part because I know I can come here to get help if I need it. Now to just learn how to actually edit well, as post processing has never been a strong suit of mine.
Thanks again!

No this is not happening, and you realising that these new forums would be the place for you to post means you must now accept that there is no existing place for you to post these comments.
