Delete Object Gesture

[pbass]

Old topic, I know – cuz when I forum-search for 'Delete Object Gesture' I get a sea of threads dating back to V2 beta.

As of May 2023, is there finally a simple, dedicated gesture for this (on Designer iPad);

or do we still need to either use the Trash icon or bring up the Quick Menu & choose Delete there??

I could manage with just the Trash Icon IF it were custom-moveable to where it's handy for me.

Otherwise, I feel the Quick Menu is too indirect for a command that I use dozens of times per session.
Anyone else feel this way??

[By the way, for me, 3 finger gestures are a bust; on my iPad 3 fingers Zoom & Unzoom the screen.]

Hi @pbass,

Currently the Delete options in AFD iPad are either the Trash icon, or the Quick Menu option as you've mentioned above, unfortunately there's no additional setting to enable a different delete gesture at this time.

I'm not seeing this on my iPad here, though it may be due to your Accessibility settings within iPadOS. Please navigate to iPad Settings > Accessibility and try disabling the Zoom option here, as it may be conflicting with the gesture within Designer.

If you're still having trouble with this gesture after disabling the aforementioned option, please ensure you are using a relatively fast movement of your 3 fingers downwards, as otherwise the Quick menu may not show.

I hope this clears things up!

Very helpful indeed, Dan!

Tell me, any possibility of a movable/custom-placeable Trash icon in the future??

Though right-handed (wielding Apple Pencil in right hand), I like the interface in Left-Handed Mode (Studio accessible to left hand). If I could just get the Trash back over where my left thumb could reach it, I'd be happy.

(Frankly, I'd love the tool bar and Studio to be at the left, but I don't think that much customizability is in the cards...)

This is certainly something our team can look into - I'll move this thread to the feedback section of the forums for our team to see and consider implementing in a future update

Hey Dan, thanks very much for the consideration! (Delayed response...).  Cheers, - pbass
