customizable shortcut keys

[thomasp]

hi,

 

first of all: terrific program(s) you are developing here! these really expose the competition's lack of performance!

 

just wondering if you intend to let the user customize tool shortcuts at some point? could not see it mentioned in the roadmap. this is pretty much a standard across most 2D/3D tools i've come across in my day-job and very helpful when working with multiple apps so as to not get shortcuts mixed up all the time.

 

on the mac i know we can assign our own shortcuts to menu entries via the system keyboard preference pane but from what i can see the tools are not accessible this way.

 

please consider it!

Thomasp,

 

This has already been added to Designer and I would guess to Photo, at least in the beta (but I'm not sure). Go to Preferences and you can assign shortcut keys to your liking there.

Hi thomasp,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

As @Hokusai said, shortcut keys are already available in both programs (Photo 1.4 and Designer 1.4). To customise them go to Affinity Designer/Photo ▸ Preferences..., Shortcut Keyboards section.

indeed - and there it is! i could swear i did not see this in the previous version - when i went through preferences customizing the app. a recent addition?

 

thanks - and please close/move this topic as you see fit. :)

I like the feature (and I really needed it since working with a German keyboard). For some reason, my shortcuts (in Photo) for resizing the brush will not always work, e.g., in Liquify persona or when refining masks. Also I found no possibility to define similar shortcuts for these tools. Did I miss something?
