SzilardUK Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Hi, On Designer for iPad, the cmd+D shortcut does not work with vector items, however it works just fine on the desktop version. I tried to change The keyboard shortcut to something else, but the function just doesn’t seem to work. Also a trackpad tap outside the selection does not work either. Is it possible to make these basic functions work on the iPad version? I know an iPad is an iPad for a reason, but I do not necessarily want to touch the screen just to deselect something. The function works just fine in the pixel persona btw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can confirm I've been able to replicate this issue and I'm getting it logged with our developers now On 10/31/2021 at 7:46 AM, SzilardUK said: Also a trackpad tap outside the selection does not work either. However this behaviour is working correctly for me, using an iPad Pro 2019 and Magic Keyboard, I'm able to click to select and click to deselect objects as shown below - RPReplay_Final1635851500.MP4 Can you confirm for me, what iPad model, iOS version and keyboard type are you using currently? Many thanks in advance Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Many thanks in advance Hi @Dan C Thank you for picking this up. I am on a 2021 iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard running iPadOS 15.0.2, however, I managed to work out what caused my trackpad problem. (I am pretty new to the iPad. 😇) This only happened right after I enabled 'Touch for gestures only' in the Tools preferences panel, which actually disables access to many functions and features with the mouse/trackpad. They work fine when the option is turned off, but then it is very hard to use the pencil (2nd gen), as there is a pretty bad palm pickup present. I am not sure if it is even possible at all to differentiate between the two input methodologies - touch vs. mouse/trackpad - as I found that this works the same way in another vector graphic application on the iPad. This might just be a hardware limitation. I guess I will just have to plan forward when I want to use the pencil and when I want to use a mouse and set my preferences in advance accordingly. Maybe turning touch (and trackpad/mouse) gestures only on and off could be made more accessible with a switch or button somewhere in the document window UI?

Staff Dan C Posted November 4, 2021 Staff Share Posted November 4, 2021 No problem at all, I'm glad to hear you were able to determine the cause of this! 3 hours ago, SzilardUK said: Maybe turning touch (and trackpad/mouse) gestures only on and off could be made more accessible with a switch or button somewhere in the document window UI? This certainly sounds like a good feature request, as I understand some of the Affinity app settings could do with being in a 'Quick settings' menu that you can access whilst editing a document, so I'll get this logged with our developers now In the meantime, you may wish to consider an 'Artist Glove' or 'Anti-foul Glove', as these help to reduce accidental palm input when drawing using the Pencil!
