abra100pro Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 The KB Shortcut for temporary zooming in and out on my mac is CMD+spacebar and then drag with the mouse (CMD+spacebar+option for zooming out). I have this in other apps, too and it is very handy. However: In the Affinity suite the sequence is spacebar + CMD (not CMD + spacebar) which is very unhandy: When I have text selected (for instance) and then want to quickly zoom in/out via this shortcut I cannot do that without messing with the text (spacebar first deletes marked text). In other apps it CMD comes first which then resolves this issue since spacebar no longer is interpreted for handling the marked text. Small issue, I know, but if you're like me - fiddling with the shortcuts as if it was guitar hero on the last level it is tedious. I hope Serif finds the occasion to change the order of the kb sequence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pšenda Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I'm so used to the practical and natural Ctrl with scroll or Ctrl with +-, that I don't even know these breakneck shortcuts.
