Carlos_1 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Ok, quite impressed by Affinty Photo so far BUT does anybody know how to hide the 'marching ants' marquee using a keyboard shortcut? I have found that Command+D makes it disappear but it doesn't make the marqee re-appear again. Annoying, as this is really useful when editing fine detail work. No, not useful, ESSENTIAL. Using 'show pixel selection' in the view menu is very slow not to mention amateur. Many thanks Carlos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Welcome to the Affinity forums! You can turn the marching off via menu View >> Show Pixel Selection. There is no keyboard shortcut assigned per default, but you can assign one with Edit >> Preferences >> Keyboard Shortcuts >> Photo >> View.

Staff MEB Posted February 2, 2021 Staff Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hi @Carlos_1, Welcome to Affinity Forums Commad + D, deselects the selection, doesn't hide it. You can set a shortcut for the command View > Show Pixel Selection as Joachim showed above through Preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts.

v_kyr Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Jip Cmd-D is no toggle command, in order to reshow a dismissed selection there is the "Select again" menu command, which can also be assigned to some custom keyboard shortcut via the apps keyboard shortcut prefs settings.
