Is there hotkeys for switching through colors in the color swatches menu?


Recommended Posts

On Mac you can hold the Command key (I would assume it would be the Ctrl key on windows ) and use the arrow keys to scroll through the colours, this does not however change the colour of the selected object, you have to physically click on the swatch to apply it.

Interesting!
You need to actually click into the Swatches panel first.
Since it also generates a system beep, I'd consider it a "harmless bug" and not necessarily a "feature" though. ;)
Also "works" with option and ctrl keys, for that matter.
