3rdDay Posted October 22, 2024 Posted October 22, 2024 Currently, the hand tool (used to drag and navigate), rather than the move tool (used to click and move items), is the default tool in Affinity Photo. This should not be. The default should be the move tool. Please make this the default or allow users to select a default tool. Many have requested this in other forums and are confused as to why we're stuck with the hand tool as the default. Thanks for your support! Hilltop, thomaso and GRAFKOM 3 Quote
