Ok what I know now : 1 Spacebar : Does only work on certain tools like while creating a shape (Rectangle, etc...) and creating a Text Frame Tool (and this is not indicated in the status bar). But does not work with other tools like dragging a marquee. Why ? Who knows... Consistency is maybe not in fashion anymore. 2 Shift to add : has been replaced by ctrl+alt , but I don't know since when.

Am i the only one having these keyboard shortcuts not working in Affinity Photo 1.9 ?

Hello. a - Using Affinity Photo 1.9.0.932 after automatic update. Windows 20H2 (19042.746, experiencePack 120.2212.551.0). b - Having no custom keyboard shortcut, working on a fresh new file. 1 - Problem : The SPACE BAR does not permit to move the selection while selecting (M : Rectangular Marquee Tool and consors). - How to reproduce : Open AP, File>New... choose any format (say 800x600). Press M to select the Rectangular selection Marquee tool. Drag to make a selection -> WITHOUT releasing the left mouse button, press the space bar to move the location of the selection = > Nothing happens. - Workaround : None. 2 - Problem : SHIFT does not permit to ADD a selection. - How to reproduce : Open AP, File>New... Choose any format (Say 800x600). Press M to select the Rectangular selection Marquee tool. Make a selection. Once done (release the mouse), try to ADD another selection by keeping SHIFT pressed. The little "+" does not appear beside the mouse. A contrario, pressing ALT does well permit to remove a part of selection (the little "-" beside the mouse appears). -Workaround : Set the selection tool to "Add" and not to "New" (Default), then you can add/remove with SHIFT/ALT. Thank you for reading. If you have any question, don't hesitate. Cédric.

NICE !! That works fine. I hope I will remember this method that is really quick. Thank you dutchshader. Note : I did not find "Expand Stroke" because of a the french translation "Vectoriser le contour" (which could be translated to "vectorize outline").

I'm trying this, but I don't find "Layer>Expand stroke"... Where is it ? (Seen your result that is good, want to reproduce it).

Yes, here it is. If you find a way, it will be nice. Remember : I'm not asking you to recreate the shape for me, I search a "speedy" way to solve my problem oreiller-shape.afdesign

Sorry dutchshader, but as I said part 1) Divide makes a mess. Your advice seems not to take care of what I said in part 2). Thank you for your help.

Hi, I have a shape that is closed and contains a hole. On the picture joined : - This shape is a result of a boolean combination of 2 identical shapes slightly shifted. - The stroke is red - The fill is black. I want to fill the hole in the center of this shape. 1 - I tried all the boolean operations (including divide) with no success, it doesn't "restore" the 2 original shapes as some vertices have been merged. 2 - I tried removing vertices to restore a "filled" shape, but it is too hard as some vertices are overlapping other ones (is there a way to "hide" vertices like in Blender ?) 3 - I could redraw a shape on top of the original, but It's too hard because of the complexity of the bezier curves. 4 - I tried to make a square nested in this shape's layer, but it make the square appears only in the "fill" part of this shape (the black part). How can I fill the center of this shape ? Thank you, Cédric.
