prophet Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 You can double click a layer and zoom in. Is that what you mean in your second point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Bellis Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Thank you @prophet for the reply. Double-clicking the layer icon in the Layer panel intending to zoom to that layer only works in certain situations; e.g., a text element created in the current workspace. If the element was created elsewhere, and depending on exactly what that element actually might be; e.g., a placed PDF, an Affinity Design element, there are different non-zoom behaviors accordingly; e.g., nothing happening, or opening up editing session in a new Publisher tab, respectively. I'm quite new to all things Serif and expect there are additional behavioral nuances dependent upon a given circumstance. Having used InDesign CS6 for ages, I'm loving Publisher!

Pretty sure this is a built in default.

prophet Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 It's a bit awkward and could use some clarification, but it all comes down to where you click. If you double-click the layer just below or above the name/description, it should work. Obviously double clicking on the name lets you edit it and, as you noted, double-clicking the thumbnail can yield other actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly Bellis Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share Posted October 3, 2022 Windows Ctrl+Alt+0 (zero) after selecting with the Move Tool (V) or by Layer works great! Thanks Bruce!! Displaying that OS-specific information with a right-click would also be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
