AdjustmentsLayers.mp4 It's great that adjustment layers allow you to create not-destructive art with the ability to have control at any stage. However, what is missing is the ability to apply these adjustment layers to get vector objects for export. 
For example, I have some vector complex image with many colours and I need to shift the colour tone of the drawing a bit. I can easily do this with a recolour adjustment layer, but after that it will no longer be possible to easily export the vector image. The ability to "bake" the colour change into vector objects without using rasterisation is required.
 

The features that appear Context Tollbar are very necessary and useful, but unfortunately there is no way to natively set hotkeys on them right now and it's frustrating. I would really like to have this feature.
For example, when editing an object with the node tool it is often necessary to switch on Transform mode to get a bounding box around selected nodes. After using it, I have to go back to the panel and disable this mode. It would be much more convenient to be able to toggle this mode by hotkey. 

 

Now alignment buttons automatically aligns all objects to the size of the selection frame. Unfortunately, because of the fact that texts have outlying elements, this approach leads to incorrect alignment results. It seems better to even add baseline-alignment by default if only text objects are selected, but even if such functionality is optional it would be very good too. 

Affinity Designer adopted from Illustrator not the most convenient (frankly bad) system of conditional fill/stroke color assignment depending on the selected mode. This forces you to either switch between them, through the X button, or do a left click with shift key pressed. The problem is that this approach often leads to either an incorrect assignment, or forces you to keep in mind (or check) which mode is currently selected. This is a waste of time. Corel and Xara use a logical and intuitive system with absolute color selection without switching modes: left mouse button - fill color, right mouse button - stroke color. It would be cool to be able to enable this behavior at least optionally. 

In many powerful modern applications there is a global command palette: Atom, Notion, even Figma has it.
The idea is you press Cmd-P and write anything you want, it searches and find something immediately. You can gain access to almost anything with one shortcut + keyword.
I find that I'm constantly using similar feature in "Help" search field to find lot of commands, fillters, selections, presets etc. Basically doing the same stuff. So I propose to transfer it into power command palette, adding more global connection to all things inside all 3 powerful apps.
E.g. now I edit a big document and need to select all raster objects + several specific shapes only in 1 artboard. With such command palette I could've write for example "select raster objects + scope artboard". And that 's it.
This also turns Affinity products more power user- and developer- friendly and opens enormous gate for adding bits of code/formulas to operate and automate things.

Bumping this also. I work in Figma a lot and global command palette is awesome tool for speeding things up. Smart selection is already implemented with plugins, check/uncheck some settings/options (e.g. copy as svg, custom snapping etc.) Possibilites are endless. Hope Affinity will implement this feature too.

Hi everybody! We would like to see the official russian language support in future releases of Affinity. For now I should install the russian pack manually, to support hyphenation for example. Probably it works for me. But I think it would be better for all russian users to have this language pre-installed

Everybody who like this idea please add + to this topic
