Affinity Publisher - Short cut for Move Tool

[Greyfox]

I have basically full page text frames, with text interspersed with images.

Having added some text, I click on the place image tool to insert the image.  I can get back to the text tool by pressing T on the keyboard, (or by double clicking in the text frame), but the only way I can see to select an image if I subsequently want to resize it, or reposition it, is to click on the move tool, then click on the image.

If the mouse is positioned over the move tool, it shows "Move Tool [M]" however if M is pressed whilst in text mode it inserts an M into the text, it doesn't change to the Move tool (which probably is a good thing because otherwise I wouldn't be able to type in any words that had an M).

So, is there a keyboard shortcut to change from the text tool to the move tool?

Esc then V should work.

Wrong letter for shortcut

Thanks for the quick response.  Unfortunately no, that brings up the Rectangle Tool, which strangely has the same tool tip letter [M] as the move tool.

OK, found it - the default assigned key for the move tool is actually V, so Esc then V does the trick.

Minor bug showing M on the tool tip.

Ooops, sorry the Move tool should have V.
