Harry L B Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 Hi Serif, I really like Affinity Publisher and Designer, however could you add a keyboard shortcut to view the publication in a browser (like what you did with Serif WebPlus Alt+1). For example, when you press Alt+1 it exports it as a PDF and views it in Chrome. I think it would come in handy when working on documents for the web. Thanks, BTW I still use Serif WebPlus X8 and I still think its better than all the online apps that I have tried. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted January 22, 2021 Share Posted January 22, 2021 In case you haven't found it: Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N will do an Export, and two of the options there (which will be remembered) are the kind of export and whether to preview. (Mac would use Cmd and Option, rather than Ctrl and Alt.) If you tell it to preview, the configured application will be opened after the export finishes. So, if you regularly use a form of PDF output, and regularly preview, Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N and Enter is your shortcut. You then just need to give the filename, or accept the existing one, and possibly specify the directory if you don't want the last one you used.

Advice @Harry L B In that case I would assign a better shortcut for export. I have chosen CTRL + SHIFT + E.
