Dirk2 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 I accidentally deleted all shortcuts in Affinity. How can I reinstall them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe_l Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Start the application in reset mode (hold CTRL) and reset only the shortcuts. I confess, I never did this before, but it should work.

carl123 Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 There's a reset button in the Keyboard shortcuts panel, I would try that first joe_l 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Dirk2 Posted October 21 Author Share Posted October 21 I suppose it's the Apple-/Serif-Standard button. Right? I'm using a german version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirk2 Posted October 21 Author Share Posted October 21 @joe_l Meanwhile I tried your solution and it worked fine. Thank you all for your support! 🤝🖖 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Just out of interest, how did you delete your shortcuts if you didn’t know where the Shortcuts pane of the Settings dialog was? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirk2 Posted October 21 Author Share Posted October 21 I knew where it was. But I wasn't sure if it was what carl123 meant. Also because of translation uncertainty. GarryP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Ah, I see, that’s okay then. Thanks for making that clear. I was worried that there might be an easy way to accidentally delete all of the shortcuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Mac OS there is a button in the Preferences > Shortcuts that will clear all the shortcuts just above the two buttons for choosing Apple's default set or Serif's Default set.

Dirk2 Posted October 21 Author Share Posted October 21 Yep, this is the evil button in a moment of mental derangement I clicked on. So clicking on Serif Default would bring the shortcuts back, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the Serif defaults*, meaning any that you set up earlier would not be restored. * Like File > Save, New, Open, Close, all the zoom types the tool shortcuts etc. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear.
