Shortcut D does not work


Recommended Posts

Key 'D'

Set Stroke/Fill (or Colour 1/Colour 2) colour selectors to black and white, respectively.

From the local help (F1), topic 'Keyboard shortcuts'

No effect observed to two computers.

EDIT: As Walk correctly found out D is no longer in the default settings. Bug!

Regardless of what the Help may say, I suspect if you look at your keyboard shortcuts you'll find nothing assigned (by default) to those functions, at least on Windows.

Here's what I have (which has them set), but I set them myself. If I click the Reset button those two go away:

Thank you for you time, @walt.farrell 🙂 Indeed. So, we can mitigate the problem.

But Serif, you have to verify that the default keyboard shortcuts are correctly configured in code/config. No one expects defaults to disappear when updating. Or the Spanish Inquisition.

From what I remember those haven't been defaults on Windows since at least 1.6. I started at 1.6, and they were not defaults for me even then, if I remember correctly.

😣

But an easy thing to fix for Serif.

One would think so. But how they fix it might depend on how it behaves on Mac.
