GEORGzer Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 (edited) I have a dumb question 😅 I want to quickly hide/show the guides in Affinity Designer V1. The default shortcut is "⌘ ;". As an European I use a QWERTZ keyboard, my system language is set to English. However, to hit a ";" I have to use SHIFT as well. But this now interferes with the shortcut for "Spelling Options" which is "⇧ ⌘ ;". So when I hit that combination at first "Speling Options" open and on the second hit the guides show/hide. Changing order (hitting COMMAND first and SHIFT second) doesn't change anything. There are a ton of shortcuts that require the use of the SHIFT key to trigger the default set keys, at least on a QWERTZ keyboard. I can't figure out how this is supposed to be used 🤷♂️ Thanks for any advice! Edited March 11 by GEORGzer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums. The default Shortcuts assume an English, QWERTY keyboard, I think. If there are some that don't work for your setup, you probably need to change them to key combinations that work better for your language and keyboard layout. Users have made requests to improve that.

GEORGzer Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 Thanks, I'm gonna change the guides shortcut to "⌘." 👍 After doing some more digging, this seems to be a system wide issue with macOS not taking the connected keyboard layout into account.
