Tools and keyboards

[nicoppc]

Hi !

I noticed something a bit frustrating in Affinity Photo: When using some tools (like Select -> Feather..), the keyboards is not focus on the tool.

Example:

• Open a image
• make a selection
• Do Select -> Feather / Shift - F6
• a new window pops up where you can enter the feather radius with "apply" and "cancel".

For me, it would be intuitive to just type some value on my keyboards and then Enter (for apply) or eventually Esc (for cancel). It's done this way in PS.

However, in Affinity, this is not this way and it's not me very contra-intuitive. Keyboards as some others function.

What do you think ?

 

Regards

For me is this way "intuitive", because is same for every Selection manipulation.

You can enter the value directly when the dialog pops up, press tab once to the apply button (the selection updates) and press enter. ESC closes the dialog as expected too.
