Alon Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 Hello, I'm using a lot the Alignment tool with "last selected" option. It will be much easier to use it with hotkey instead of 4 clicks (Alignment, Horizontal, Vertical, Apply) Sometimes I want to only use the Horizontal, sometimes the Vertical but sometimes both. All this after selecting so it will align to the last selected object. I'm asking this because I'm still new to Affinity Designer and not sure if there are built-in buttons for these already. Thanks ahead! Quote
carl123 Posted September 29, 2020 Posted September 29, 2020 You can right-click the Toolbar and add additional Alignment icons or in the Layer menu you have Alignment options to which you can assign shortcut keys to Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Alon Posted September 29, 2020 Author Posted September 29, 2020 Thank you for the quick reply Align Center doesn't align to last selection, so I guess I still need to have many clicks... unless there is a way to set it?EDIT: Actually even the single buttons manual Horizontal / Alignment are not set to Last Selection... so there is no reason for me to put them on the top panel... I guess I need only Hotkeys for what I shown on the first thread. For now I'll try to found out how to make the Align Horizontal / Vertical / Apply hotkeys it will be a bit easier. Quote
Alon Posted September 29, 2020 Author Posted September 29, 2020 I looked at the hotkeys under properties but I can't find how to make hotkeys which includes Last Selected for horizontal and vertical in case I want to use them individual or both... Also, Align Center ignores Last Selected option so it's not what I'm looking for. Any idea how this could be achieved to hotkeys instead of so many clicks? Quote

I would like to completely switch to the Affinity Designer from CorelDraw but I am missing align and distribution like in Corel. Edited September 30, 2020 by OneManBand Quote
