Keyboard Shortcut Improvements and related brush keyboard shortcuts related to switching brushes


Recommended Posts

Hey, I'm a random guy who really likes keyboard shortcuts, and I have few suggestions.

1. A filter/search functionality to the keyboard shortcuts would be nice so I can spend less time looking for something in the 36 different menus as right now the search in the settings just highlights where I might find something it doesn't filter it

2. Maybe a broad view of all the shortcuts splatted onto one scrollable list with some prefix string about the context it's used in? Again just touching back on the fact there is 36 menus and some times I have no idea where a thing is and I'm lazy and I don't really want to click 36 times to see all the possible short cuts 

3. Add two shortcuts to move up and down brushes selected in the brushes menu and just keep track of the last one used (If this already exists for the love of god someone please tell me as I've wasted a decent amount of time trying to find it)

  • I know the weird case with this is what to do when swapping brushes after you "modified" one of them and I have a couple of ideas that you could go with and I think you honestly could just let the user decide which one they want. Those being
    • Keeping track of what was settings were modified and then just applying them to the brush you swapped to or put another way have a temporary brush be made out of merging the modified settings and the next brush in the index. 
      • An additional feature if you were to do that would be to make a temporary brush permanent by allowing the user to add it to a some brush list as the other option of dropping a new brush every time a setting was modified would get really dirty real fast. 
    • Give zero crap about the modified settings and just override the settings each move.

The cheat sheet is only good if you don't add your own shortcuts or alter the defaults, I change from Command Page Up to Page Up for Publisher (the need for Command with a key marked Page up seems silly/stupid).

What I would like love to see is the sort of key commands window from Apple's Logic Pro. You can search by just pressing the keys on your keyboard and you'll be shown what if anything uses that key combination. There are 1962 items in the application.

And an extra bonus is that you can copy the whole set as tab separated text. Right now with Affinity we have to guess and guess again and on and on again.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.2 
Affinity Designer 2.3.1 | Affinity Photo 2.3.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.3.1 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
