design punch Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hi, WIN 10 on publisher & designer (retail and newest beta) - (photo still works correct) key short cuts on brush sizes (vector and paint brushes): Even preset is set to [ and ] ... brush sizes are not changed by [ ], instead layer selection is active ?!

walt.farrell Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Given that your User Interface is in German, I'm going to guess that you're not using a standard English keyboard I think that is known to cause problems in Affinity, as the ] and [ keys you type are not what Affinity is expecting. You may need to specifically set those shortcuts to the keys to what you want to use. (I'm not sure why they would work in Photo, unless you previously set them in Photo, but have not yet set them in Designer or Publisher.) -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
design punch Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hi Walt, Yes, it is German, but it was working on all apps with V1.7 etc. (I hope I don't lie here, just having not recognized the fact before !?! ) But photo is using [ and ] , same a designer and publisher ... so it should not be the case about German key arrangement ... I have tried to re-modify it, instead of showing [, it is showing now (Str[Ctr]+Alt+8) etc, which is the long name for the key. But that doesn't help. It seems I have to modify to different keys short cuts from this version on ... Thanks ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 A while ago I already "complained" about the shortcuts not being localized. This was already a 1.7x problem. ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
design punch Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 I tested again, changed to e.g. ctr+alt+8 ( = [ ). It worked suddenly, but only until I changed from brush to another tool, coming back to a brush, function is gone again. I tried Alt + / Alt - (on the right 10 block keyboard), but it Alt - doesn't react proper ... So I changed now all to alt+1 and alt+2 ... to avoid further problems. Hope that is stable ...

Wosven Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 If you want the shortcut to apply to all the types of brushes, check "apply to all" or similar. And I always have to set the shortcuts since in French, to type a [ mean hitting AltGr+5 and ] is AltGr+). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
design punch Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hi Wosven, I know, i did, but that doesn't work on designer and publisher either ... function is ok with photo only ... alt+1 and alt+2 seems to be the best solution for me ... once my mind got familiar to it ...

Wosven Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 That's strange, did you tried with simpler keys? I choose ) and = since they are near the backspace key and easy to remember and hit while working with the other hand, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
design punch Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 I prefer alt +1/2 ... right hand is bussy holding the graphic pen most of the time ... (*laugh*) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 That's why I didn't add more than ) and = (it could have been a and z or & and é (keys 1 and 2)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
