CJRM Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 There are about 56 Tools and tool variants, but the limitations on assigning keyboard shortcuts to Tools, particularly the inability to use modifier keys, means that it is impossible to assign a shortcut to more than about 26 of them. Keys 0-9 are used for setting opacity levels, and this cannot be turned off. Several punctuation keys (e.g. the '[' and ']' keys) and the 'D' and 'X' keys also cannot be changed from their defaults. This may not be an issue for most people. I have an elgato Stream Deck XL, so I attempted to create Stream Deck keys for each of the Tools I use most so that I could access them with a quick button push instead of mousing to the menu. The limitations on Tools shortcuts meant that I could not do this. I had to decide which Tools to assign to the available number of shortcuts. Could you please allow the use of modifier keys when setting keyboard shortcuts for Tools? Alternatively (or in addition), you could allow the assignment of the number keys to the opacity levels to be removed/changed, which would free up ten more keys. P.S. There is a set of icons for Affinity Photo available for the Stream Deck from the elgato download page, which is what inspired me to try this in the first place. I recreated the Designer vector tool icons in Affinity Designer so they would appear correctly on the Stream Deck. I would be happy to provide the Designer icons file if Serif were interested in making an 'official' set of Designer icons available for Stream Deck users. U.

fde101 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Accepting entry of international and accented characters would probably work too, but that doesn't seem to be supported at the moment either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
