selecting other characters as snapping candidate

[Oval]

When will it be possible to select not only the first character in a text box as snapping candidate?

Probably sometime over the next year. We're aware that text snapping is half-baked, and we will improve it, almost certainly in time for Affinity Publisher which we hope to release in 2016. We don't generally give precise time scales because there's too much uncertainty for us to commit to them.

Thanks, that helps.

 

Rough concept: Pressing CTRL-ALT-CMD to activate the Snapping Selection tool. (Some help  – options to marquee more, etc. – appears.) On releasing, the object (parts) get on the selection list or will be deleted in the list.

 

PS: We hope, the Affinity team will grow with the number of purchasers.
