Ron P. Posted September 27, 2023 Posted September 27, 2023 I'm running Designer on Windows, and that online help is for Designer on Windows. Do like the instructions suggest and you will get that menu. I didn't know it existed, until I read the help about it, and tried it.

However, I find it impractical that you cannot open menus such as the "Transform" menu. PaulEC 1 Quote

PaulEC Posted September 27, 2023 Posted September 27, 2023 How much simpler can it get? Select the item you want, then hit Return! How could it work if you just opened a Menu without first selecting the object? And wouldn't opening a Menu be more work than just hitting Return?

bures Posted September 27, 2023 Posted September 27, 2023 Perhaps this option should be listed in the user interface. E.g. as a context menu item, main menu item, toolbar button, etc. Quote

Then it's really easy. The menu is much more logical and better, because all the other menus such as transform, etc. are accessible via the menu. Quote

Something like this, perhaps: https://affinity.help/designer2/en-US.lproj/pages/Introduction/keyFeatures.html?list=newFeatures It would be even more helpful if it also included sections for what's new in 2.1, and in 2.0, rather than only including the new items in 2.2. But those are all covered at https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/whats-new/, at least.

Curiousian Posted March 20 Posted March 20 For some reason I can't access this contextual menu/window whether I hit Return/Enter or any other key or option in the objects context menu. I see videos with people showing how to use the window, but I'm unable to make it appear or find it anywhere. It does say at the bottom of the Affinity Designer 2 window to press return to access the window, but nothing happens. Does the Move/Duplicate window need to be turned on in some way? I'm on PC.

Did you select one or more objects or groups before you pressed a key?

Curiousian Posted March 20 Posted March 20 I did. I followed the instructions in this video among other ones: Just figured it out, the window was displaying on another screen that is connect to my computer but turned off. It was there all along. Thanks for the reply! Grey Piewood 1 Quote
