Pinktoes71 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I don't see an option to create a keyboard shortcut for "Replace Image". Does anyone know if that is possible? I have one set up for "Place Image" so I am hopeful I'm just not seeing it. Thank you for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Shortcuts work for menu items such as File > Place, but generally not for Context Toolbar buttons.

Pinktoes71 Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 I figured it was a long shot, but it would cut a ton of time off of a lot of my projects so I had to make sure! Thank you, Walt for your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeGr Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 Is there any news on this topic for a shortcut for "Replace Image"? I can not believe, that such an important task, one needs that often when doing professional layout work, is not accessible via shortcut ! I am sure that I am missing something here, yes? greetings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BertD Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I agree, this could be such a time saver. Please introduce the ability to add shortcuts to context toolbar items. Or, move those into a menu if it's too difficult to implement, that way they'll be available for shortcuts. Bert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkdp Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Has anyone found a solution to this as I am looking at it now as well. I think there should not have to be a separate command for replacing an image... we should just be able to use the place command and it replaces an image.

fffelan Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 yes please. The place command can just replace whatever you have selected... when you have nothing selected place the new image. please. please. please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Place = Replace Image, there is no difference between them. So just select an image and use the keyboard shortcut for File > Place when you want to replace an image. I do this every day.

File > Place for me just places another image in the document. It does not replace an existing image if one is selected (Windows 11) Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Staff Dan C Posted February 17, 2023 Staff Share Posted February 17, 2023 I believe I may know the cause of difference here - with a Picture Frame selected, and a file placed within this frame - using File > Place (or the Place Image Tool / keyboard shortcut) will act in the same way as the 'Replace Image' option - as the Place action already has a designated target, the selected Picture Frame. With no active selection, or selection of a placed document outside of a Picture Frame, the File > Place and alternative options will all add the new placed file as a new layer, rather than replacing your current selection or last placed document, for example. This behaviour is consistent across both OS's for me, please do let me know if you're able to replicate differently! I hope this clears things up MikeTO 1 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.
