Dampsquid Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Designer. Text > Alignment > Align Left (and rest) Layer > Alignment > Align Left (etc) The leaf menu item names are identical. This is a problem because I am unable to assign a keyboard shortcut to the layer items. Seems MacOS will pick the first match it finds, in this case the text items, which are, of course, not the ones I wanted. Please change one of the menu sets! Maybe Align to Left etc. to disambiguate.

If you do it via Settings, Shortcuts in the Affinity application I don't understand why there would be a problem, nor why macOS would be getting confused. It just passes the keystroke to the application, which does the interpretation.

walt.farrell Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Why not use the built-in shortcut system within the Affinity applications, instead?

Dampsquid Posted March 18 Author Share Posted March 18 Well... right now, I suppose I've little choice My preference would be as originally intended. Keeping a common workflow / method across all apps makes for simpler care & feeding of the system. I'd rather use a single common OS supported approach instead of a custom per-app method. The problem with layering different solutions to the same fundamental problem is you're more likely to encounter unexpected behaviour, and when you do troubleshooting is much harder. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
