jakoeshall Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 So, here's the issue. When you have something selected and you manually enter the values in say the CMYK color fields, you would expect to be able to hit Tab to go to the next color field in the Color Panel. Instead, it exits the Color field and returns to the document, so that the next thing you type replaces the text you have selected. In my mind its either a bug or a bad usability feature. In every other panel in Affinity Designer, the tab key goes to another field (example in the Guides Manager). In every other illustration and graphics program since forever (like Macromedia Freehand, etc.) the tab key moved the in panels moved to the next field in the panel itself and never exited the panel. Thanks for fixing this bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Sean P Posted July 20, 2020 Staff Share Posted July 20, 2020 Hi jakoeshall, You can use tab to go to the next field after typing the value you want, it will then accept and update after tabbing - you don't actually need to press Return/Enter for it to be accepted. Because of this behaviour I have a feeling what you're seeing is actually intentional (as it allows you to use shortcuts to access other tools and such like). However I will ask development if this is the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakoeshall Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 I see, yes. I was adding an unnecessary Return after entering the amount. Thanks. Sean P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
