Shortcuts?

[safoster71]

I LOVE a designer for iPad, but one of the biggest things I miss are “shortcut keys”.  I know you can attach a “real keyboard”- but it’s often unwieldy.  I don’t know why the software keyboard doesn’t have the command key either... but I was wondering - could there not be a system that essentially gives you quick access to predetermined operations with just a 2 or 3 finger touch?  That would speed up things significantly for me.

I kind of envision a preferences panel that allows you to perhaps custom set 3-5 often used operations that can then be accessed directly on the screen by say a long tap with three fingers, kind of like the “right click” approach?

Have you looked at the help file at the section Touch Gestures which describes the various one, two and three finger touch gestures thar can be used.

To get a better idea of what was aiming for - look at “quick menu” in procreate.  Pretty good/simple approach to making shortcuts to things you normally have to hunt/peck for
