Hi guys, I was trying to replicate the keyboard shortcut system I used in Adobe CC to reset my Workspaces, as my dual monitor setup hasn't worked nicely with Affinity for some years now (and also started acting up with CC as well, mind you; interestingly, the Studio panel reshuffling after waking from sleep appears to be fixed either in these last versions or in Big Sur, which is nice and may even obviate my personal need for all of this) and I thought I had gotten it working. Basically, my workflow consisted on adding Studio Presets for all personas, both in Separated Mode and normal mode, then manually reapplying each Preset in View > Studio Presets > [my preset] and finally adding keyboard shortcuts for them (without applying them first the Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts panel doesn't recognise them straight away) and saving my own Keyboard Shortcut preset in ~/Library/Application Support/Affinity Designer (for good measure I also tried saving it directly in my home folder, but to no avail, so it's not a permissions issue). The thing is, whenever I restart my applications (any of them, as this bug is reproducible in Publisher and Photo as well), if I move one of my Studio panels and attempt to apply my custom Studio Preset using said shortcut, it won't work. However, if I manually select said Studio Preset from the menu, all subsequent attempts at doing so using its keyboard shortcut will indeed work. Also, before manually selecting those Presets from the menu, it won't even appear on the Keyboard Shortcut customisation panel, much like it happened right after creating them. Maybe Affinity apps aren't just scanning for dynamically-generated menu items after creating new Presets and on application launch, as they probably should?
