Noob Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Correct me if I'm wrong, but there doesn't appear to be a way to paste text styles and attributes. This feature would work like "Paste Style" -- but for text. Example: you select a font, then modify tracking, vertical baseline, etc. -- now you want to apply those attributes, including font to a different text object. The "Paste Style" could be updated to accommodate the text as well. Thoughts? Additionally, I think it would be nice if -- when a text frame is selected, but not "active" -- pressing the "enter/return" key would active the "blinking" cursor. Double-clicking works fine, but this could be a nice alternative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 17, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 17, 2016 Hi Noob, No, text styles weren't implemented yet. This will come in a future version. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highvoltage Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 THIS!! A million times. Paste text style is a must for any UI/Web or basically any design work. Currently this stops me from ditching Fireworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted July 6, 2016 Staff Share Posted July 6, 2016 Text Styles were already implemented in the latest Beta (1.5) for Mac (only). They will be available soon for Windows as well. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highvoltage Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Nice!!! Does that mean it features a copy/paste style shortcut too? Cause i tend to use that much more than defining styles when designing. Crionis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this would be a great feature that would speed up the workflow tremendously! And not only for text, but essentially for any attribute that a certain object may have. For example, in Xara Designer after you hit ctrl+c on any object or piece of text, you can then use ctrl+shift+a to apply the attributes of the copied attributes to any other object or text. It's that simple. Check the gif bellow: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 9, 2017 Staff Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hi Crionis, This also works the same way in Affinity Designer/Photo. Use ⌘ (cmd) + C to copy and ⇧ (shift) + ⌘ (cmd) + V (CTRL + SHIFT + V if you are using Windows) to paste the same attributes to another object.

The only thing I can see missing is copying attributes of parts of text within the textbox. For example, if there are multiple styles within the same text box, it would be great to be able to copy a style from a single word and paste that style onto another word. But that is relatively minor. The most important thing is there! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhanchik Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 Is there any update on this? I am really struggling with Affinity Publisher not being able to paste/apply text attributes in the text box. Please tell me if this is something that's is going to be implemented soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
