In my office, I have been using illustrator with a wacom tablet for the last three years and everything works well. But for my personal use, I decided to buy Affinity Designer and a XP-PEN Deco pro tablet, because of my budget. I'm also using a macbook pro 15 2016. If you are on this case, you may see that default settings are not well suited. It seems to me that there is a lot of causes for this. At least I can name two: the entire conception of Affinity Designer with Design and Pixel Personas implies that you have a lot of shortcuts that you cannot find in adobe. it seems that there is not yet a collaboration between xp-pen and affinity. Unfortunately, this companies are behind the reality of new creators in this postpandemic times. Guys, we don't have money ! If you are trying to develop products for us, you need to work together!! Well, I am really far of being an expert, but I may contribute a little bit with you guys, if you are looking for some settings to make things happen : First of all, I am only using settings on the PenTablet application (Version 3.2.3) : Pen Settings: in the pressure adjustement, select the "soft" hardness pen/eraser (this will only works in pixel persona) : customize input from keyboard => E Shortcuts "Move Tool" in Design Persona : Customize input from keyboard => B "Pen Tool" in Design Persona : Customize input from keyboard => P "Node Tool" in Design Persona : Customize input from keyboard => A "Undo" : Customize input from keyboard => Command + Z Default Settings for Space Hand Tool (K4), Save (K5) Show Control Panel (K7) and Switch Roller Function (K8) are working well Roller/Touch : Zoom: Command + / Command - Rotate: Option R / Option Shift R Scroll (by default it is working as zoom): I didn't find a shortcut Brush Size: increase => [ decrease => ] Touch: Mouse mode All references you need to find your own settings could be found on Affinity Designer > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts If you have some other ideas, I will be following this workaround. All my best !
