Tools not Working on Keyboard (Not responding)

[JhonatanS]

Hi, I'd like to bring this issue that I'm finding frequently while testing and using the Affinity Designer Beta 2.1.0.1714

When I just change the color panel or try to switch to other tool using the keyboard

Affinity seems to ignore completely my keyboard commands 
Here is the video attached to show, (It's not on the keyboard side since it's working in other things, like alt+tab)

Also, this is happening even if I restart the app or use other document.

I haven't been able to figure out why I too have this problem with the Tool shortcuts not working. I cannot come up with a reliable recipe to cause it. This is on Mac OS 11.7

There have been some issues with focus in the apps which lead to keyboard shortcuts failing. Giving focus back to the canvas usually resolved this but it looks as though a fix is currently in progress. Hopefully this will be resolved shortly.

yes, thanks for let me know I was wondering if was only here..

anyway the performance and crashes seems to be gone, and is working much better than 2.0

Hi there,

I've updated the affinity to version 2.1.0.1730

I noticed that there is a highlight selection when I click on the option in the panel,

that make the toggle option selected (blue corner) and any action that I do with my keyboard it doesn't work because affinity is keeping selecting the toggle field.

Honestly, I found that this is making the experience quite bad, because once you enable it keeps the option selected then you need to click somewhere to unselect.

Is it possible to get as normal?

video demo to show my hotkeys being used to switch the tools and the option toggle still selected.

Another example, If I select the Blend Mode or others header option, it keeps selected.. then I can't use the keyboard
