Hide Overflow as a keyboard shortcut


Recommended Posts

While text overflow issues were discussed in the "Affinity Publisher 1.8.3 - Text Overflow issue," I would make this suggestion here. Could turning the Hide Overflow box in Text Frame be put in Keyboard Shortcuts? As yet I have not found it there. 

Here's my reason. In creating a new text in APub I often work with various older and longer texts in the same doc, each in their own text frame and background fill, but without the full text showing until I need it so as to save page space. A quick keyboard shortcut would allow the user to reveal the entire text without going to the Text Frame panel and clicking the box. Thanks, and I hope I have not overlooked this as already a keyboard shortcut.

There's no shortcut for it that I know of.

But you don't need to go to the Text Frame panel. Just click on the red eye with the slash to show the overflow, or click on the red eye without the slash to hide it again:

Once again, thanks, Walt. I often use the small arrow icon to direct text flow to another window but did not notice the small red dot. Works beautifully. Affinity as so many little helps once they are known. You should compile various Affinity "icon charts," Walt. I'm sure many would appreciate it.

It's not a small red dot. It's a small red eyeball (or, with overflow hidden, a small red eyeball with a red slash through it). Here's a blurry enlarged version :)

I feel like you have presented me an opportunity to make some pointless comment about getting your eye checked.

But if you check the eye then you cannot see the text overflow...

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
