Affinity-Inspiration Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 iPad mini 6. Latest software etc. Apple Pencil 2. Selecting multiple cells to merge works with the Apple Pencil but as soon as I try a long press the selection disappears and I can’t get the pop up to happen. However… If I use my Finger, it all works pretty much as it says in the help text. see attached video. RPReplay_Final1697445498.mp4 Quote iPad Mini 6. 256GB. My GoTo design platform.

Staff NathanC Posted October 17, 2023 Staff Posted October 17, 2023 Hi @Affinity-Inspiration, As far as i'm aware this is by design as the Apple pencil 2 can't activate the long press context menu in the Affinity apps. This can also be seen when long pressing anywhere on the canvas, the context menu won't appear unless you use a finger tap likely due to the pencil's high sensitivity. This has been raised before (albeit a few years back in a slight different context) and is the same in V1, i've linked the relevant threads below. Quote
Affinity-Inspiration Posted October 17, 2023 Author Posted October 17, 2023 Well thats a pain. Also getting the menu that has delete Columns and Rows in to pop up in any case is a very random exercise. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. Even with the finger pointer. Never with the penci where it does the same thing as previously mentioned. I put a comment and video showing it not working into the general comments forum so I won’t repeat it here. Any chance this is going to be looked at? It makes any serious table work really impossible. Quote iPad Mini 6. 256GB. My GoTo design platform. M2 Mac Mini. 24GB. LG 4K Monitor. + Samsung Monitor 2.

Staff NathanC Posted October 17, 2023 Staff Posted October 17, 2023 Since it's by design (likely due to the sensitivity of the Apple pencil in comparison to finger tapping) it's not likely to be changed currently, feel free to make a post over on feature requests if you would like to see the the long press function added on the Apple pencil.

I’ll do that, thanks for the suggestion. I feel it needs to be consistent. Being able to use both pencil or finger. Quote iPad Mini 6. 256GB. My GoTo design platform. M2 Mac Mini. 24GB.
