Inpaint shortcut does not work on Affinity Photo v1.8.4


Recommended Posts

Inpaint brush tool is ‘J’ and the brush is sized by the square brackets or Control + Option/Alt and left/right movement for size and up and down for hardness. (Leave it…)

I think @DPR4AF may be talking about the Inpaint item on the Edit menu. If so, I think the default keyboard shortcut for that is CMD+Delete, but I may have changed it to that from some factory default.

Anyway, if it is that menu item, it is easy enough to change it in Keyboard Shortcuts preferences:

Thanks for that, on my system it’s ⇧⌫ (Shift + Backspace)

I don't have experience with previous versions, but on 1.8.4 this also doesn't work for me. The default shortcut is Option-Delete on my system, but no matter what I change it to or what combination of keys I try, the action always results in erasing the selected portion of the image. The only way for me to use Inpaint is to select it from the menu bar.

Ironically, if I open the edit menu and then use the keyboard shortcut (instead of selecting Inpaint with the mouse), this works! But I have to open the edit menu first. Definitely a bug.
