Handyann Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I would find it really useful to have Delete available on the right click menu for layer items please. I keep automatically going there for it and then remembering we have to go to the bottom of the layers panel, which is not good. Thank you 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bit Disappointed Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29  I have at the top of the menu, when I right-click items in the layers panel, Cut and not far below Delete? macOS, Designer 2.4 Quote I simply no longer believe that there are any professional graphic designers here. Everything follows suit. Just everything.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Its there on Windows too – see attached screen grab. @Handyann If you can show us a full-screen screenshot which includes the menu you are talking about then we will have a better idea of what you are looking at.

Handyann Posted March 29 Author Share Posted March 29 I don't have it on mine for some reason. This is the menu I get if I right-click on a selected item. The only time delete is there is if the item is just text and the text tool is selected. I'm running Mac Sonoma and V2 affinity, although I haven't applied the very latest update yet...

The others are right-clicking in the Layers panel, not on an item in the document. I think the confusion is because you described it as wanting it on "the right click menu for layer items". In addition to the suggestions of using right-click on a layer in the Layers panel, you could just press the Delete or Backspace keys, which by default will invoke the Edit > Delete menu command.

Ah, I think Delete is missing in the menu among the objects because the menu is seriously crowded. You can use Cut through the menu, it does exactly the same thing, the difference between Cut and Delete is that Cut cuts out and sends to the clipboard, Delete just deletes. Unless there's something in the clipboard you don't want replaced with what Cut replaces it with - or you use Cut on an extremely large object that will occupy space in your memory - then you can definitely use Cut. Or Delete on the keyboard, of course. Quote I simply no longer believe that there are any professional graphic designers here. Everything follows suit.

Handyann Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 @walt.farrell Thank you for your reply. Clicking the delete or backspace key anywhere on the screen just gets me a ‘you can’t’ bleep. The only time it does work, on Designer anyway, is when I’m using text. As I said in my original post, personally I’d find it really useful to have Delete available on the right-click menu wherever the cursor is on the screen. Having to scoot across to the layers panel every time is nearly as bad as having to go down to the trash can in the furthest right corner.

Handyann Posted March 30 Author Share Posted March 30 @Bit Disappointed Thank you for your reply. It’s certainly one way round it, but I’d have thought one more option on the menu wouldn’t break the bank 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
