Eyewaves Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Hi, I am using German MacBook Pro that does not have the square brackets. I like to change the inpainting brush size using keyboard s-cuts. I know alt+6 produces the close square bracket, but it does not invoke the desired function. Any suggestion will be appreciated. My affinity SW is Affinity photo 1.73.

walt.farrell Posted May 31, 2020 Share Posted May 31, 2020 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. First, you might try setting the shortcuts to the sequence you'd like to use, rather than depending on the defaults working with your keyboard. Next, the current version of the Affinity applications is 1.8.3.

CLC Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hi @Eyewaves, without changing any default keyboard shortcuts, try following with your German keyboard layout:Option+[ and Option+] (the original keys as they are placed on the English keyboard, just with the Option modifier). It works with whatever different keyboard layout for me. Hope this helps. Sorry, this no longer works on Mojave nor Catalina Quote Why relying on your users to report errors is the dumbest thing you’ll ever do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyewaves Posted June 1, 2020 Author Share Posted June 1, 2020 Hi Walt and CLC - although I have an older version of Affinity, I am absolutely newbie to the tool. I am intend to become an advance user because it has most of the key stuff I would use in the future. Thank you both for springing up to help. The suggestion about a new short cut settings works really well. For those who never done this stuff before like me, here is the procedure: Affinity Photo (top left) -> Preferences --> Select [ Photo + Tools] -->[ click Tools option] --> in the box to its right specify the key set THEN PRESS SAVE near the top right of the pop-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
