Question about text block editing

[christie62]

Hi:
I'm new to Publisher, long time user of InDesign. There is a feature that I use alot that I can't seem to figure out in Affinity. In InDesign you can click in a text block, and hit CTL-Y and get a separate little window that pops up that you can edit the text in. I can't seem to find anything like that in Publisher. I've tried different views and checking the help files. Does anyone know if this is possible, and if so how to do it please?

Thanks!

There is no feature like this in Affinity Publisher (yet), but you can of course post a feature request in this forum
