Allow custom macros to be keybinded

[Frozen Death Knight]

Title is pretty self-explanatory. Macros would be overall more useful if keybinds were possible.

YES! This is an absolute MUST HAVE feature! I bought all three v1.0+ Affinity products, but I will not upgrade to v2.x or beyond until at least Affinity Photo has this feature. When I was an entertainment press photographer using Photoshop, I would edit hundreds of photos per day, and my workflow was highly dependent on the ability to assign an action/macro to a set of keyboard shortcuts. I got very proficient/fast at quickly eyeballing a photo to see what it needed (brightness adjustments, color temp change, etc), and within seconds I could apply adjustments with the keyboard shortcuts alone, without even touching the mouse! This is the #1 feature that is sorely lacking in Affinity Photo.

Serif has just started its Black Friday sale so you can upgrade now from V1 to V2 for £71.99 which covers all apps on all platforms and is traditionally the largest discount you get throughout the year. It's possible that macro keyboard shortcuts will come in the free V2 updates and also scripting (which we know they are working on) but there is no guarantee on any of that.

It's a bit of a gamble but V2 also has lots of additional features, bug fixes etc that it may be worth upgrading now to get the discount rather than missing out and then find they add the shortcuts in the next free update for V2 users and you have to pay the full price at that point in time.

Does that include the additional 25% discount for V1 users upgrading to V2, or is that the Black Friday price alone?

All I know is that's the price listed (at the link above/below) for V1 users to upgrade to the V2 Universal Licence

What confuses me is if V1 users only need one V1 product to qualify for the V2 Universal Licence offer or if they need all 3 of the V1 products (APhoto, Designer, Publisher)

A V1 user only needs one Affinity application registered with Serif to qualify for the Upgrade discount. But they must purchase the Universal license.

Do you know if this includes a single iPad app? (I know someone who has only purchased AD for iPad, but is now considering getting the Universal Licence.)

I haven't seen anything that restricts it to desktop purchases. But they do need to have registered their purchase into their Affinity Store account, which is otherwise optional.
