Affinty Designer transparency shorcuts unbind

[MariusFratila]

Hey, I wanted to redo all my shortcuts, I reset all the shortcuts, and I tried to put various tools on 1,2,3,4 etc. and it doesn't work, instead of activating the assigned tool it changes the transparency of my shapes 1=10% transparency 2=20% and so on.
Is there a solution, some hidden setting?

They're hardcoded so no way to assign them to other functions.

Note also that quickly typing a 2 digit sequence will set transparency to any integer percent value, so for instance quickly typing "12" will set it to 12% or typing "36" quickly will set it to 36%. This is why it is hardcoded into the apps -- there is no other way to use two regular (non-modifier) keys as a keyboard shortcut.

FWIW, there have been several requests to disable this feature because some users find it too easy to accidentally tap a number key & not notice its effect, & possibly to free up the number keys for other shortcuts; but so far nothing has been done about that.
