makeshine Posted December 13, 2019 Posted December 13, 2019 When I right click a tool on the left toolbar, it does not show additional tools. I have to double left click to show additional tools. I'm on latest version of Mojave. Quote
markw Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 Hello makeshine and welcome to the Affinity forums If other Tools are nested in a collection, the currently shown tool icon will have a small grey triangle showing in it’s bottom right corner. You can access one of the other nested tools in one of three ways; 1: Left Click on the small triangle in the bottom right corner of the currently showing tool icon. 2: Long Left Click on the currently showing tool icon. 3: Double Left Click on the currently showing tool icon Quote macOS 12.7.6 | 15" Macbook Pro, 2017 | 4 Core i7 3.1GHz CPU | Radeon Pro 555 2GB GPU + Integrated Intel HD Graphics 630 1.536GB | 16GB RAM | Wacom Intuos4 M

I tried it. If you right-click on the tool icon, nothing happens. Maybe you can set that somewhere in the preferences, but why should you, when there are already three ways to change tools with the left mouse button?

walt.farrell Posted December 14, 2019 Posted December 14, 2019 I'm not sure why we would need a 4th way, but on Windows we seem to have one.

makeshine Posted December 16, 2019 Author Posted December 16, 2019 Right click would have been convenient but I guess I'll have to make due with the alternatives. Quote

I'm curious: why is a right-click more convenient than the other alternatives? It's not any less mouse movement, or any fewer clicks than two of them Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

makeshine Posted December 16, 2019 Author Posted December 16, 2019 - Long hold takes longer - Double clicking takes longer - I'll go for the mini-triangle for speed but having to be precise on that marker will probably slow me down too I can learn keyboard shortcuts too Quote
Staff Chris B Posted December 16, 2019 Staff Posted December 16, 2019 I didn't even know you could right-click on Windows I always long-hold. Regardless, both apps should share feature parity when it isn't an 'OS feature' so I will happily investigate this one. I'm also not convinced by the double-click as this is very slow so I've asked about that. It needs adding to Windows if dev wants to keep it.
