Affinity Photo - Hot key for Make selection from path?

[Sonny Sonny]

It seems there aren't any hotkey for making selection from path even in the Shortcut settings. So, may I suggest that hokey or at least a menu item on the right click menu when right mouse open on the path?

You don’t say which application you are using.

Are you aware that, in Photo and Designer’s Pixel Persona, you can Ctrl+click on the thumbnail of many types of layer to get a pixel selection from that layer?

In Photo there’s also menu “Select → Selection from Layer” which can be given a shortcut key.

Or, while you are using the Pen Tool there’s a “Selection” button on the Context Toolbar which will make a pixel selection from the currently-selected path.

Thanks. It's Affinity Photo.

I know there is a button on the context toolbar. But a hotkey should be much better (for example Ctrl + Enter in Photoshop)

Yes, thank you so much. I didn't notice that. My bad bro... I'm so sorry.

But the problem with this menu is:

- The path must be filled color instead of non-color path

That's one 'shortcoming' of the functionality that I didn’t mention but, while not a one-click/press solution, it’s part-way there.

(I’m pretty sure that this sort of thing has been requested before but a search for selection path gives me over 1,000 results and I’m not going to search through them.)
