KCP Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Are there keyboard shortcuts for navigating while in text-tool mode? When I'm kerning and hold the space bar to move the page around, it just adds spaces to my text. Likewise, if I hit V to exit out of the text tool, all it does is type a V. Having to manually click out of the text tool while I'm kerning is a time-consuming pain in the neck. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks, KC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 You can also use the esc (Escape) key to get out of text editing mode.

walt.farrell Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Or you can move your mouse over the edge of the Text Frame and you'll then be able to drag the frame around, if that's what you're wanting to do.

KCP Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 #oldbruce, Thanks. I didn't try ESC because whenever you do that in Photoshop after resizing, the ESC button cancels out that operation. So, it's a two-step process in AF (ESC then V), which is still better than manually pressing the Move Tool. #walt.farrell, That is an option, Walt, although I frequently zoom way in while kerning because I use spacers, so constantly unzooming then rezooming would be a time-consuming nightmare. In, Photoshop, with the Text Tool engaged, you can resize the text by holding ctrl + shift, and you can move the text around by holding ctrl and dragging. Those would be convenient features in AF. Anyway, thank you both for the suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
