Text style shortcuts conflict when typing

[Intuos5]

The shortcuts which you can assign to the text styles in their dialog boxes break typing. When editing text in a textbox, instead of placing said letter, the text style shortcut is applied. This means that any assigned alphanumerical keys become invalid for typing.

 

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a text style or modify an existing text style.

2. Assign a letter shortcut to it (e.g. "B").

3. Enable the Frame text tool

4. Type: Something like this with a body text.

5. Notice that the text style is applied when you type "B" for body. Also notice that you cannot type the word "Body".

 

This happens on Windows 22H2, build 19045.2251.

You have to have a Modifier Key such as Alt or Control there as well as the 'b' for body. Note that on Mac Alt + b will give ∫ so some letter combinations with the Alt key may not work on Windows.

In the topic I linked, which was a feature request topic, a Mac user said you do NOT need a modifier key, so it works on Mac.

You don't need a modifier key on macOS but without one the shortcut will only work when the cursor isn't in a text frame. I was actually surprised it worked when I tested it today. All the letters are assigned by default but I reassigned one for a test.

Hi @Intuos5,

Many thanks for providing detail, i've been able to replicate this on Windows and i've now logged this with the developers. 🙂
