Mikołaj Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hi, It would be great if adding to selection would work that way: - "cmd" to add to selection and "option" to subtract from selection but when You klick once it will stay (don't have to hold opt or cmd) When people are working on MacBook with great touchpad, they have a habit to scroll through workspace using two fingers (like space+mouse). If You hold option, two fingers are zooming in and out a view instead of scrolling through workspace. It would also be great if there was a quick "keyboard" way to change between freehand, polygonal, and magnetic selection. It would be amazing to just klick "L" again to change it. (I know that Affinity works different and this way You can back to previous tool ...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fde101 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Hi @Mikołaj, welcome to the forums! Yes, it would be great to be able to map a lot more of the tool modes to keyboard shortcuts. You can have the same letter assigned to multiple tools and tapping that letter would cycle among those tools (by default - there is a checkbox in preferences -> tools that changes that to require the shift key as well) but nothing for switching among the modes of the tools. However, having the "cmd"/"option" behavior for add/remove a selection, I for one would find to be extremely annoying. I definitely would not want that to be a standard behavior.

It's good but for me working with selection tool is a lot easier when You don't have to hold "option" key while subtract. I don't remember how It is working in PS but in PS Elements is like I am saying (I'm using PS Elements in my Job - quarantine time so I bought Affinity in home)... and it's realy annoing for me.

fde101 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Check the modes on the context toolbar: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikołaj Posted March 31, 2020 Author Share Posted March 31, 2020 Yeah, I know that. I just realized, when I set this box to "Add" it will stay while changing through different tools so it's really helpful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
