evtonic3 Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Can you please integrate bigger and smaller buttons in text options? Your predetermined text sizes always are either way too small or way too big. Please consider. Having to enter in the field then return to see it apply, THEN do it again is a waste of time. Thanks.

Brian D Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yes please, it'd be a massive help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Are you aware that you can use Shift+Cmd+< and Shift+Cmd+> to change text size with the keyboard? If you are using a mouse, you can hover it over the size control and use the centre scroll wheel to change the size. evtonic3 and Stepaan 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 The keyboard shortcut changes text sizes in massive increments. The mouse wheel works very poorly on a trackpad. It zooms up and down, and requires a lot of finesse to stop it in the right spot. Little increment buttons that move by one stop, like every other attribute in the character panel has, would be really useful. Edit: I've just noticed that holding alt/option at the same time reduces the increments. Helpful, but I'd still prefer increment buttons.

benonymous Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Incrementing and decrementing text quickly and easily (by reasonable increments) is table stakes to compete with Sketch and the like. Requested UX: 1: add the ability to use the UP and DOWN keys while focues in the text size input to increment and decrement text size2: add the ability to click into the text size input and use the arrow up/down to increase the text by 1 unit, and holding the ctrl/cmd key to change the size by 10 units. 3: change the text size>bigger and size>smaller, and precise>bigger and precise>smaller shortcut keys to follow the 1 unit and 10 unit pattern described above instead of the odd increments it uses right now. This ability is a great productivity booster for UI design. Sketch has great UX in these regards.Thanks. ronnyb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norway4T Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 What is the status of this function? It is a huge productivity booster, so I sincerely hope it is just around the corner! Preferably with an option to choose ones own key combination, since I use a Norwegian keyboard, which often times rearranges keyboard shortcuts, so that you'll have to guess which key combinations are corresponding to an English/Standard keyboard. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Across all Affinity apps. That helps me a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The-Designer Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Has the font increment size option been added in V2.1? Like it is in InDesign. This is a must for designers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riba Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 How has this not been implemented? Does Serif not understand that you can have multiple text sizes inside one element and changing font size changes the size for all of those absolutely, while a Size+ and Size- feature(button changes them relatively? The lack of common sense in basic features in Affinity products is sometimes mind-boggling. So is the lack of a crop tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
