Darner Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Hi AD 1 had "show grid" with "cmd + ' " (left side of keyboard)AD 2 changed "show grid" to "cmd + ¨" (right side of keyboard) Tried changing "view grid" shortcut in AD2 settings back to "cmd + ' ". Still only applies as default "cmd + ¨ " Workflow is normally turn grid on off on off on off left hand, and mouse in right hand. Maybe your lead designer is left handed?😂Hope you can fix.

Hi Darner, I'm not seeing any difference for this shortcut between AD1 and 2 in English, French or German. Which language are you using Affinity in and with what keyboard language? For me, the shortcut has always been Cmd+right apostrophe on the right side of the keyboard. Perhaps you had customized your shortcut in AD1? Try resetting your AD1 shortcuts back to Serif defaults and seeing what it was before you made changes. (Save your AD2 shortcuts first so that you can restore them back from Serif's defaults.)

Darner Posted December 1, 2022 Author Share Posted December 1, 2022 Thanks for reply. Language english on computer and in Affinity. I now tried resetting, restarting, and ram reset, and setting Serif Defaults in both AD 1 and AD 2. In AD2 - Shortcut default for "show grid" shows "cmd + ' ", but works only with "cmd + ¨ " In AD1 - Shortcut default for "show grid" shows "cmd + ' ", which works fine. Next re-install, or other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debraspicher Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 FWIW, I'm on Windows. It is still <Ctrl + '> like in V1. Odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeTO Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 I'm with Seneca, what language is your keyboard? You said you're using Affinity in English but your keyboard has a ¨ key?

loukash Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Swiss and Scandinavian keyboard layouts have a ¨ key.

Darner Posted December 2, 2022 Author Share Posted December 2, 2022 The shortcut "cmd + ' " worked well in AD1😳 Hopefully next update or a re-install will solve it. Appreciate all the feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darner Posted September 19, 2023 Author Share Posted September 19, 2023 Still not working with the standard shortcut to show grid with cmd + ' (left side of keyboard)Only showing grid with cmd + ¨ (right side of keyboard).This issue occurred after 2.0 update I believe. And still after 2.2 update, no improvement. Since last time have also reset shortcut settings, and manually inserted desired shortcut in: Settings / view / show grid. This specific shortcut is not affected for some strange reason. Even though other shortcuts are. Also tried 2 different language settings in system settings on Mac. So sending a reminder, hopefully will be fixed soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had issues as well with shortcuts in general (in addition to the one mentioned in this thread with grid) after updating to 2.2. One of them being deleting graphics with back space on Mac. It helped with resetting shortcuts in Affinity settings for back space. But did not solve the grid shortcut issue. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jungianLaura Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 Thank you for the reply, walt.farrell. I've managed to get the grid to show, but I don't know exactly what I changed to do so. Clicked a few things in the grid manager. Here's what it looks like now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to change it to some other Mode setting, such as Basic or Automatic, or you need to select a Grid Preset that you've saved. 2.1.1 worked the same way, so this is not something new with your 2.2.0 update (unless you were previously using V1).
