MAGA Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Dear Affinity team, I ran into an inconsistency when navigating text with cursor keys. Reproduce * Place cursor inside any text * Press OPTION + CURSOR LEFT/RIGHT * Native MacOS: jumps word by word left/right * Publisher: narrows down word/character space * Expectation would be to make use of muscle memory from MacOS and use the same keyboard shortcut within Publisher, eg use SHIFT + OPTION + CURSOR LEFT/RIGHT (or any other) * Same for CMD + CURSOR LEFT/RIGHT which under MacOS is used for line wise jump, in Publisher used for word wise jump. System * MacOS 10.14.6 * Macbook Pro 2014 * Publisher 1.9 * No other issues encountered Would appreciate if this could be changed in the future. Thank you.

garrettm30 Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 What you describe is already possible. You can set it up yourself if you like in the "Keyboard Shortcuts" section of preferences, or there is a button that will reset to a default that observes Apple Defaults. Note that this button will reset all keyboard shortcuts to default, same as the Reset button. The difference between the two is that the Apple Defaults is a reset that applies a different set of default settings that respects these kind of Mac-standard text operations. I do use them myself, but not everyone will, so that is why it is left open as a user-configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAGA Posted February 9, 2021 Author Share Posted February 9, 2021 Dear garrettm30, great thanks for your feedback. That helps, I already modified these two (for me) most important ones. Didn't change all to Apple defaults, first want to try out which have been predefined by Publisher. I am sure there are many useful ones among them. Will these personalized keyboard settings remain intact after the next Publisher update? Or will they reset to the Publisher defaults by then? Thank you.
