Hi, I've got this: when working with picture frame I sometimes need to lock children and work only with the frame shape and sometimes I need to edit both the frame and the picture at the same time. I know, there is a tick button in the context panel that can be turned on and off. Is there a way how to add a keyboard shortcut to it? I can't find it anywhere. Or... Is there a way how to temporarily disable the Lock children functionality? Than you!

Coming from InDesign I feel totally lost as to how the keyboard shortcuts work for paragraph and line spacing. What I am missing in Publisher is some kind of contextual keyboard help/cheatsheet accessible from tab panels. I would imagine a section like Paragraph > Spacing to have a clickable help icon that would display all the shortcuts (with all the modifier key combos) that control input available in a given section, for the given OS. Whether it'd be an online help page, or an internal popup, doesn't really matter to me (presumably online would be easier to maintain and print from).

Hello Serif I've been using Affinity Designer for some time now, and have missed this quite intensely along the way, so: I now work on both macOS and Windows with a mouse mostly, but also with an Apple Magic Trackpad 2. It is extremely efficiently stored in my muscle memory, so I work lightning fast with my right hand on the mouse/trackpad and my left on the keyboard for shortcuts. I work quite a lot and often adjusting a lot, lot of notes, thousands of clicks every day for periods. I change node type many times, and I miss a lightning fast way to switch between node types with a tap on the keyboard. Just one. You can do that in Coreldraw for example (and Vectorstyler). Today on macOS and Windows there are different and not as easy shortcuts for the same with mouse and keyboard in combination, but I miss that it is configurable, so you can also assign a key or a key combination for that matter. And especially just one key as a shortcut would make that workflow very easy. So in short, I suggest: You add the ability to assign a custom keyboard shortcut to sharp, smooth and smart node. That the option also can be just one key, e.g. S for sharp, O for smooth and A for smart (just example for illustration notwithstanding that they may be used already) That in the pen tool you can ALSO use them, so the last created node can be adjusted to sharp or smooth e.g.

It'll be cool to be able to assign keyboard shortcuts for macros - the workflow would improve quite a lot! Anyone?

I'm using Windows 10, and I'm using Affinity Designer 1.8.5.703. About two days ago keyboard shortcuts stopped working. I use the following shortcuts regularly: CRTL+ ", CTRL + X, CTRL+C, CTRL+V, CTRL+Z, all these have stopped working. I can still achieve the same functions via menu's, but it feels very unnatural and slow. I have tried rebooting the computer, and on a few occasions things returned to normal, and then after a time the shortcuts stopped working again. My PC has 16GB of memory and a speed of 2.90 GHz. I don't know what triggers this problem, Is this a known issue? Does anyone know what triggers the bug? Will we have to wait for an update?
