Jim Monson Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Quote -- 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...

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. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 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).
