IPad Missing Shortcuts
Would it be possible to match the desktop apps shortcuts with the ipad apps?
I usually use a bluetooth keyboard on the side while I use Photo and Designer. There are some missing shortcuts on the ipad versions compared to the desktop ones mainly the pixel selection tools like the Marque Selection Cycle and the Lasso Selection tool.
Please add to the ipad tools shortcut menu:
M - Marquee Selection Cycle L - Lasso Selection
For parity, maybe just match the desktop and the ipad shortcuts.
Clear Selection Tool
Even though the shortcut to Deselect pixel selection (CTRL/CMD+D) is there. The "Clear Selection" command should also be added as a shortcut. In my opinion it functions better that the Deselect command. For example, in designer CTRL/CMD+D does not work on selected vectors and layers. It only works on selected pixels on the Pixel Persona when lasso or marquee selections are active. However when tapping the little "X" on the bottom left of the screen, on top of the trash icon (Clear Selection) will deselect a pixel selection and tapping it again will deselect the layer. Which I think might be a more efficient function than just the Deselect command. Yes we can just tap on an empty area to perform a Clear Selection command, but sometimes there are no empty areas specially when working zoomed in.
Can we add this "Clear Selection" X on the ipad Photo app? And also have add a shortcut to activate it (ie. CTRL/CMD+SHIFT+D) as well as the desktop apps?
Add Clear Selection tool or add the "X" icon to Photo, which is in already on Designer and Publisher Add Clear Selection shortcut in the shortcut preference menu

Thanks in advance.

I can confirm the fix on 2.0.3 as seen here (see below) however...

...I think it should also be added on the selection menu:

I hope you don't mind me posting this on the bugs forum to bring more attention to it. Cause this should definitely be filed as a bug. I mean sure it could be a missing feature, but something as crucial as "Invert Selection" should not be missing in the app. Specially when it's a part of the basic selection tool sets and was there in V1 as well.

There is no way to invert selection in the Pixel Persona in Designer V2 for iPad. Unless you go through some workarounds that you shouldn't have to or have a keyboard on hand. Invert Selection is part of a basic set of selection tools that should be there by default alongside grow, shrink and feather.
I believe the bug here is that the UI element to access the command was forgotten. It's there, you can access it by keyboard, but there is nothing on the screen for the user to tap and execute the command. It exists in V1 and was easily accessible. Tap and hold on your selection, release and the menu which includes Invert Selection was there. I think on V2, Invert Selection should be part of the 3 finger gesture to open the context menu and also an icon that is present when you have a selection active.

Can we have the option to make the Cycle Selection Box/Reset Bounding Box stick, or be permanent?
As of now, Designer lets you reset the bounding box via the Cycle Selection Box button. However, when you click out of the object and then click back to it, the bounding box returns to it's non-rectangular shape. Can we make the rectangular shaped bounding box stick, so that even re-selecting the object will retain the bounding box reset.
It could be reset permanently, losing the old transformed bounding box. Or switchable, when the button is on every bounding box is rectangular and when the button is off, everything retains its transformed bounding box.
For example, when you skew a square and then rotate it, you end up with an odd shaped transformation/bounding box. Which then makes it awkward to align. It also, sometimes, creates a weird space on grouped objects.
Thank you and have a wonderful day.

It does affect the bounds in some way. Attached is one of the examples where it affects the bounding box of a group. To replicate it, unskew an italic text by skewing it (or create a parallelogram and then skew it to be square) and you will see that it keeps its old bounding box, even though there isn't part of the object in that space. I hope this better explains it.
