Moesslang Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Changing the brush size with [ or ] doesn’t work on German keyboards. The reason is that on German keyboards [ and ] are option-5 or option-6. There is no key for [ or ]. What can I do to change the brush size quickly? Or os there a way to change the hotkeys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. Yes, the standard keyboard shortcuts are designed for English keyboards. You can change them, though, in your Photo Preferences, in the Keyboard Shortcuts section: Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.4.1, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.4.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I recall, reported already many times, and in some other instances also partially fixed. You can change the shortcuts but some of them will be reset if you quit the app. For me, meanwhile this has become an "automatic ritual" to double-check these shortcuts upon every app launch… Edited May 30, 2021 by loukash Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaleEverhart Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 German keyboard here … working for me is tab + , (not tab + ö) in the keyboard shortcuts overview, it still shows tab + / (is that possibly based on the profile language setting?)

No, that is for english keyboard layout, as a standard preference.
