Where to Set Shortcut for Paragraph Panel?

[Mr. Doodlezz]

Hey everyone,

I'm kind of missing something. Really stupid question: I have spent the last ten minutes looking for the appropriate submenu in the preferences to assign a shortcut to the Paragraph Panel, similar to how ⌘T works for the Character Panel or ⌘⇧T for the Typography Panel. But when I look for the shortcut for the Character panel, I can't find it either. 😓

Are they predefined and cannot be changed? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Cheers
Dennis

In Designer the entry to set a shortcut for the Paragraph panel should be found in the ‘Studio’ Shortcuts sub-menu.

@markw, aaah – thanks! It’s the same for Publisher. Man, who came up with that location and name when there’s dedicated and much more intuitive »Window« and »Text« sections? 😅

Anyway, thanks again!

Huh! Yeah, that's what I was expecting!
Strangely enough, this is what the Windows section looks like in the latest official Publisher version. Note the very short scrollbar on the right, there aren't many other options, and certainly no Text section to be found. 🤔

Edit: Wait, you work with Windows too, don't you? Maybe it's different there, I haven't tried it yet.

Those two identical "Toggle Full Screen" items at the end look quite strange 🙂

Haha, I didn't even notice them. Lovely! 🫠

The items aren't even arranged alphabetically, which they are in the Windows version. Looks like the Mac version got out of control by Serif 🙂

Odd, right? Considering they started out as Mac-exclusive software.

Sorry, this was discussed a few times. Note, in macOS the shortcut prefs are ordered like their according menu entries. That makes it even easier to find them in the preferences, especially if you first use the auto-animated / auto-highlighted macOS feature to find a menu entry via the Help menu … (here for V1)

So the Mac version has two "Toggle Full Screen" menu items? - smart.

From your signature, I'm guessing you're using V1?

This topic is about the latest version, V2 (V2.1 to be precise), and as you can clearly see in my screenshot, it has changed locations.

Yes I think some confusion may have crept in here!
Thomaso’s screenshots are from Publisher v1 where the Menu entries  and Shortcuts entries for the Paragraph panel are found under different headings than where they are now found in the v2 apps.
As to Mr. Doodlezz’s double entry at the bottom of his last screenshot, that is odd, I don’t see that here?

Hi @Mr. Doodlezz & all others here

I can confirm there are 2 bugs at play here:

Firstly, for 2.1 Windows (OS) the Studio shortcuts are correctly found under the 'Window' section of the Shortcuts Settings, as Psendas screenshot shows - following the menu convention found in the app.

For 2.1 macOS, these are incorrectly split between the 'Window' and 'Studio' sections of the Shortcut Settings, which is logged as a UI bug with our development team.

Secondly, for macOS Big Sur and onwards, there is a separate bug with duplicate Shortcuts being shown incorrectly in certain lists.
For example, the duplicate entries of 'Toggle Full Screen' in the 'Window' section, and duplicate entries of 'Emoji & Symbols' under the 'Edit' section.

This is the reason markw is not seeing the duplicates, as I believe they are running Catalina with Affinity V2 - this is also logged as a bug with our UI team.
 

I will be sure to 'bump' both reports with this thread now, I hope this helps!

[Mr. Doodlezz]

Hey @Dan C!

All right, thanks for confirming both issues. 😉
