arifg Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 this is a topic for improving windows hotkeys for affinity... I'm a fan of windows hotkeys so can you improve some hotkeys?... i.e. can you change this to "C" letter instead of "L" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 I believe (dredging up from my dubious long-term memory) that the “L” is used for “Close” as that’s the standard shortcut key letter in Windows for that sort of button in a dialog because “C” is used as the standard shortcut key letter for “Cancel”. (I don’t have proof of this, just a vague memory from a long time ago.) If they were the same then the user could accidentally “Close” a dialog when they pressed “C” expecting to “Cancel” it. Even in dialogs where there is only one button, it’s useful for this to be standardised across all dialogs in an application (and across the OS).
