lettergothic Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Affinity 1.9.1 I cannot find any menu entry to enable visibility of things like "hard return", "soft return", "word spaces", etc. I can't find anything in the Text menu remotely related to invisible/hidden/special characters. Please help... Thanks, Lettergothic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lettergothic Posted August 20, 2021 Author Share Posted August 20, 2021 Thanks, Alfred and Dan C. What a drag that the code wasn't just put into designer as well. . . I do a lot of single-sheet jobs that are text-heavy. lettergothic Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so it's easy to do those jobs there, too. And you get all the other text-related additions that way, too.

Titus Tears Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Would be nice to have this also as a keyboard short cut since it is something I like to check on a regular bases. To turn invisibles on and off. Thank you. Quote Kind Regards, Titus Tears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulEC Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Assuming you are talking about "Text > Show Special Characters" just set up a keyboard shortcut in Preferences.
