Sullyman Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I'm mainly an illustrator using a tablet monitor to illustrate with in the suite of products. I want to find out how many of you out there are completely frustrated by the suite of products constantly losing the ability use hotkeys? For instance, anyone having the issue with the ALT key causing the hotkeys to stop working, menu items show they have the ALT function triggered, as if the keyboard key is stuck (usually shows the menu item with an underscore _ )? What about the Spacebar stopping the hand tool function, no longer being able to move the canvas? My Experience: I've purchase a new logitech key board, I'm using a less than year old Cintiq and this is the only software I continually have issues with. The ALT key issue has finally caused me to stop illustrating in the software and move to other options. Within a minutes of ALT picking colors while painting, the hotkeys cease function and makes it impossible to get anything done in a reasonable amount of time. I'm at a lose and want to find how many of you are out there?

CLC Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Same for me here. Also this is quite annoying and happens once a while (not that often in 1.8 though) Both Windows and macOS version, but macOS version seems less buggy to me.

Wosven Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I'm using Windows, and not sure which app cause troubles, but I have problem when an Affinity app is open at the same time as TeamViewer that I need to access my PC at work from time to time while working from home (and usually I'm using ID). It can be the Alt or Ctrl keys stuck, or the Del one stopping to function (really annoying too, since it's usefull in some app to switch to the move tool and is used a lot). I'm also using Logitech mouse and keyboard, and Wacom or X-Pen devices. But the Logitech devices are simple, and the problem seems random. The only workaround that avoid closing the session or rebooting is opening the visual keyboard and hitting the Del or problematic key. So I usually keep it opened and minimized in a screen when it begins... CLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
km.au Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 It's horrible to work with Affinity - it happens so often and I always get stuck menus too that won't go away until an app exit. It happens on 3 workstations, not limited to the one buggy one. Argh. CLC 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
