Arceom Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Previously when working with the Pen Tool you could hold Ctrl to temporarily switch to Node Tool, while in this form of Node Tool you could click over any part of an existing path to add a new node on that part of the path. Now in version 1.9, when you are in Pen Tool and hold Ctrl to change to Node Tool; is no longer possible to add nodes like in previous versions since the temporary Node Tool deletes the segment, which is a new behavior of the Node Tool. I'd like to a way to go to the previous behavior please. affinityfan and Aleksandr Novakov 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praivo Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I just mentioned this in a different post. The problem is that the Node tool uses the Ctrl + Click shortcut to delete a segment. So when you call is from the Pen, it sees Ctrl pressed and does exactly what it was told to do, i.e. deletes the segment. Shift + P to the "full" Node tool and it works just fine because you're no longer holding Ctrl. It's like they didn't even test it...

Aleksandr Novakov Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Yup, also made a post for the same problem, but even after 3 updates they didn't fix it. I think it's because they mainly develop for Mac and basically only port on Windows. Please, take care of us mortal Windows users too. we are probably the majority of Affinity users anyway! 🙏 affinityfan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandr Novakov Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Heeey!! Anyone hearing? This is still an issue in the V2 of the softwares. Please, take care of it, Affinity Team! I don't know, maybe use the FN key to emulate Mac's OPTION key or just let the users decide a combination of keys for such functions.
