spleeding Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I may have missed this one, but I am kinda surprised that there isn't an option to select a keyboard shortcut to convert node type. Any chance that could be added? maybe Shift+A since it currently doesn't do anything? Thanks. François R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fde101 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Look at the help line across the bottom of the window when you are using the node tool and pointing at one of the nodes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CorelDRAW has keyboard shortcuts for toggling nodes into the desired (specific) node type and it is exactly what I need. One key-press and I get exactly what I want. It shows understanding of how people work and what they actually need. deeds, unsquare, Aammppaa and 1 other 3 1 Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

It shows understanding of how people work and what they actually need. I do not understand the limitations of the shortcuts, that exist... There is a button so I should be able to substitute it with key press... To be honest tool shortcuts are a laugh - node tool has 5 available (comparing to more than 12 buttons), move tool has ...1! 🤦♂️ (from more than 10 buttons in the tools itself) And yes I can understand that alignment ones are available in other ways as a shortcut... But do you know how many ways you can access alignment? 5 f#$in ways! Don't believe me? - there is layer menu - there are 2 sets of buttons (tool specific and the main toolbar one - this one more specific but still - [and on the topic still why can't I open the alignment panel through a shortcut? o_O?]) - you can turn on alignment handles on the object - and keyboard shortcuts And How many ways can you edit nodes? Exactly 2: - ctrl/CMD clicks (only sharp and soft) - buttons on the node toolbar But you know not that nodes are anything too important for vector drawing software 😑 deeds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven_DZ Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I agree, it is very important to have more flexibility when configuring or customizing your shortcuts and to be able to edit your nodes more quickly deeds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
