MBweb Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 Thanks for getting back to me - i discovered that you actually can change it in preferences/keyboard shortcuts/photo/tools - but it only works if you remove conflicting instances of x as shortcut. It would be nice if there were a [search shortcut key] option, so you dont have to manually search all options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBweb Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) oh, as for the reason: if you are a professional illustrator with small hands and often switch between z for zoom and b for brush it ease the workflow considerably to use x for brush instead, as its right beside z.

Ron P. Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Ok, I was looking at the Paintbrush Tool when you just scroll down as shown in here: Instead of the this one, which does allow for it.. oops 🙁 Quote Affinity Photo 2.4..; Affinity Designer 2.4..; Affinity Publisher 2.4..; Affinity2 Beta versions.

MBweb Posted January 30, 2021 Author Share Posted January 30, 2021 Right, i also had to look twice, and i hope Afiinity devs would consider a short cut search field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best Morten B Indeed a search field is needed - but as mentioned you can customize many keyboard shortcuts - I have simplified some that required several keys as well. Do remember to save your shortcuts and keep them as a backup - should they be overwritten by mistake during an update or whatever: MBweb 1 Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

The software continued to disappoint and not deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
