Bobby Beetle Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Hi Just seen this and while I was watching, I noticed that there were some little shortcut windows, which I have circled in the image. Is this an option in affinity, and if so how do you make these, or is it some external software connected to affinity? Thanks in advance.

Staff NathanC Posted June 30, 2023 Staff Share Posted June 30, 2023 Hi @Bobby Beetle, These custom shortcut/macro windows look like they are being managed by a 3rd party application, I've not seen these before though so I wouldn't be able to comment on what specific program, perhaps the original creator or another forum user will be able to shed some light on what program they used. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Beetle Posted June 30, 2023 Author Share Posted June 30, 2023 Thanks, someone on another forum said it might be a Wacom thing. They look damn useful though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 It's probably easiest to ask in the comments for that YouTube video. The creator will probably tell you.

Bobby Beetle Posted July 1, 2023 Author Share Posted July 1, 2023 Thanks for your help guys. I actually have a Wacom intuos pro drawing tablet, and they are available on it. I didn't even know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
