Benfischer Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 In the Layer menu, there is no shortcut shown for New Layer (new vector Layer). In the settings, under Shortcuts, there is a default of Option-Command-N on the Mac. However, when I type that, it creates a new document, with some default presets. If I change the shortcut to, for instance Option-N, then that shortcut will work properly and be shown in the Layer Menu. If I type the default Option-Command-N chord to set the shortcut back to the default, there's no warning icon that it's already assigned to something like New-Document-with-default-presets. This happens actually both in AD 2.1 and the 2.2 beta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron P. Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 I'm not a Mac user, but in Windows, CTL + N is the shortcut for New Document, and it works as it should in all Affinity Apps. CTL + Shift + N is the shortcut for New Layer, and it also works as it should. So perhaps a Mac thing?

Actually it creates a new document with the last used settings. Good catch. I cannot find where the Command + Option + N for the (I guess default or hardwired) New document with previous settings is set.

There is a slot for it in the Settings for Shortcuts, with the others for the File menu, on Windows. There's no default assigned for the File action, though. On Designer 2.2.0.1954, Ctrl+Alt+N is New Layer (from the Layer menu) and Ctrl+Shift+N is New Pixel Layer, by default.
