mann Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 two parts related to selecting objects... Suggestion: Within Affinity Designer Help, under "selecting objects", it states what modifier keys to use in selecting an object by dragging over only a portion of the object instead of having to drag marquee over the entire object. It took me a bit to realize that in order for this to work you first need to start the dragging of a maquee before clicking the Control key modifier. I might suggest adding to the below statement within help: As you drag a selection marquee, pressing the selects objects which are only partially covered by the selection marquee. Be sure to begin your drag of the marquee BEFORE pressing the CTRL key. This behavior can be made the default in Preferences*. Question: Help suggests that you can change this behavior to be the default in Preferences but I'm not understanding where in references this change needs to be made? Any guidance would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mann Posted February 5, 2021 Author Share Posted February 5, 2021 Thanks @anon2 works great. Adding an image to help other find the location since there is a Tools within Keyboard Shortcuts section too. This is where I was looking originally.
