how do i obtain this functionality on the gradient tool?

Hello, i am working with gradients. I had to copy a gradient to multiple various different shapes, and in order to do that i have used the Style selector tool. when i pasted the style on the other shapes a very useful functionality of the gradient tool appeared. 
i've been trying to make it appear on gradients on new shapes i did, but i can't figure out how and i cant find anything about it, neither in the affinity publisher 2 user manual. 
I've tried also a bunch of keys combinations with shift, ctrl and alt but nothing worked...

Anyone knows how to make this functionality appear on the gradient tool?

Use the Shear control in the Transform panel after you add the gradient

@carl123 Thanks. where do i find it in Publisher v2 ?

Create a shape
Add a gradient to the shape with the Gradient Tool
Switch to the Move Tool and change the shear value in the Transform Panel
Switch back to the Gradient Tool

@carl123 thanks. It's a non intuitive and non sense way to do it but it works. thank you. 
This because i do shear the shape, but not the gradient itself. meaning i have to shear the shape back at its original value after the process

That's definitely a functionality they can implement in the future, both in designer and publisher
i.e. shearing directly a gradient with a key. maybe holding something like ALT + dragging the mouse over the gradient.
