Michail Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Unfortunately, there is no way to set the color selectors to black and white by default shortcut. The help does say to use the D key (as in PS), but it doesn't work. It does not work in the beta version either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wosven Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Strange, I did it long ago and it's working for me. Perhaps you need to search first if other tools use "D" as shortcut and disable them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wosven Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 @Michail It's working after setting it on my laptop (can't test on my main computer right now). It's working on the Pixel persona in AD, but impossible to memorize for the Vector persona. I tested with the beta versions, since I didn't updated the other ones.

Serif never restored it although it was reported. Welcome to Affinity. This is not professional software. In a professional workflow a professional user will use this shortcut very, very, very often.

But I agree with you that a shortcut should be defined by default for setting the standard colours. For someone who works a lot with masks, setting black and white is a bit awkward - especially since there is no button for it, as in PS . Maybe Serif didn't give it much priority because you can set a shortcut yourself. But on the other hand, it is certainly no big deal to fix the D key 🙂.

Staff Chris B Posted January 5, 2021 Staff Share Posted January 5, 2021 This just needs adding to Windows as a default shortcut. It's already there on macOS. I've updated the bug report and emphasised that the Help suggests it should be working as default. walt.farrell and Michail 2 Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
