Access to more shortcuts...


Recommended Posts

I have been developing a workflow that makes the Vector Brush behave like Ilustrator's Blob Brush. I use Stream Deck Mobile on an 8 inch Android Tablet for my shortcuts. I wanted to create a tool similar to the Blob Brush to quickly color in a more freeform way. Basically, I use the Vector Brush to fill in areas, then select the area I colored, expand stroke, Geometry>Add, then Smooth to reduce the node count. It works pretty well, then I am able to use the Pencil Tool with Sculpt mode on and use that as an Eraser to trim away any excess or where I went outside the lines, etc. Now I would love to be able to set up a macro to take care of that Expand/Add/Smooth steps. My Stream Deck app has the ability to set up a sequence of actions, a macro, and bind it to a button. Anyway, there are so many things that I wish we had access to in terms of setting up a keyboard shortcut, which I then would be able to set up with my Stream Deck app.

Like the Node Tool, or the Pen Tool, we have access to Break Curve, Join Curve but why not Smooth Curve? Why can't we be able to have access to Sharp and Smooth to covert nodes?? The Isometric Studio, I would love to be able to assign keyboard shortcuts to speed up the process for that too.

I am still only one week into perfecting/setting up the Stream Deck to use with the Affinity Apps. Here is an early go at trying to figure out what to include, and nothing is definite yet. You can have a button be a folder which will open another screen with 15 buttons, so you are not limited to just 15 buttons. Also, I am using the XP Pen 22R display tablet which has 2 Dial Wheels and 20 buttons, so that has given me plenty of options between the two. I really, really don't like using the keyboard, don't like having to contort my hand and fingers to reach keys, or remember the keys themselves. I like the visuals, the icons of what I am setting up and for me it will be easier to work that way, using the keyboard as little as possible.

Anyway, again, please Serif, more access to commands, actions, etc for keyboard shortcuts.
