Cartoonjosh Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 From previous software, I am accustomed to using the Command key (Mac) to toggle temporarily from the current tool I'm using to a broad selection tool, or to what in Designer is the Move (V) tool. In Designer, Command will only toggle my current tool with the Node tool (A). I realise this may sound like a mere quibble, but at least in my workflow - especially when planning things out - I'd much rather have the Move's tool broad selection capabilities as quick helper than the Node tool's detailed ones. I searched the Shortcut Settings but found no way to change this assignment, not even temporarily. The Command key seems to be fixed by default on editing Nodes.

Aammppaa Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 There is no way currently to over ride this behaviour. However hitting v will toggle to the Move tool, and a second press will return to the previous tool.

Hangman Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 I appreciate it's not a toggle but from any active tool, selecting V on the keyboard will alternate between your currently selected tool and the Move tool, so, hit V to select the Move tool, hit V again to revert back to your original tool... not quite what you're looking for but maybe a halfway house... It would certainly be nice to have a preference setting where you could choose between the Node or Move tool as the toggle for the Cmd key...

Cartoonjosh Posted May 26 Author Share Posted May 26 Thanks for the tip! I actually had not noticed the second hit on V, I was going V-B-V-B etc 😁 Indeed this comes very close to what I have in mind (and what I rate as being a bit of a standard in many graphic and animation apps, like Spacebar for the Hand). Though it would be more my comfort zone if I could just press and un-press, I guess I can live with this Hangman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
