AllAppsUser Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Affinity Designer 1.9.3, iPad. When I either place a text frame, or select an existing text frame I get what’s illustrated below. This seems to block access to the standard full size keyboard + I can’t scribble into a text frame either. Sure I can use the small lite Scribble keyboard and move the Scribble panel to the side to change to bold too, but I can’t access all the characters available on the full keyboard, or type using fingers easily. Not on the tiny keyboard with my fingers anyway. The only way I seem to be able to get out of it and access the full keyboard, is to put the app into the background and then call it back again. Then the full keyboard comes up. Is there a setting I’ve missed here, or some action? I’ve been through the preferences.

AllAppsUser Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 Ok, I’ve learned: that touching any part of the bottom banner brings up the full keyboard. If you don’t use the Apple Pencil to activate the text you want to edit, you get the full keyboard. I’d love to be able to use Scribble transitdiagrams and JQL 2 Quote - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Words are crude implements, difficult to get perfect, easy to get tied in knots with, and often - usually - misunderstood, which is why 'tolarence' is the best word of all.

JQL Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I'd love to be able to scribble too, but thanks for the touching the banner tip. I was struggling against that for months and never occured to me to actually use my fingers on the banner as I always use the Pencil AllAppsUser 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NecronomiconUK Posted October 20, 2021 Share Posted October 20, 2021 I just signed up for an account to ask about this very issue. I’ve been using Affinity Designer to draw up a floor plan of the house we are buying. My hope was that I’d be able to use scribble to enter measurements when we view the property. Definitely another voice from me for this feature request, surely it’d be mostly using Apple’s APIs?

Open that pdf and scribble away to you heart’s content 🙂 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
