Moving from the 'text' tool to the 'arrow/move' tool?

[benged123]

Just wondering. It drives me nuts, when I shift from the 'text' tool to the 'arrow/move' tool with the keystroke V ... more often than not I put a 'v' in my text ... grrrr .... or I have to click outside the text box somewhere before hitting the V for the moving tool.

This is frustrating, and slow, and requires me to double check my text for the errant 'v'.

Is there any way to go from the 'text' T keystroke to the 'move' V keystroke, without putting an errant 'v' in the text?

You can press Esc, Esc, V to do that but there's a new feature in 2.6 that you might like. While editing text, press Cmd+Return (Mac) or Ctrl+Enter (Windows) to switch to the Move tool. This commits the text input and switches tools.

That was likely the very reason why there's a new shortcut in v2.6: Command-Return (on Mac; on Windows likely ctrl-return?) to commit text, escape the text frame and switch to the move tool, all in one go.

As a Swiss resident, I quite familiar with similar multilingual hybrids…

multi-multi-multilingual hybrids, for sure

Merci!
But frankly, my French is rather poor, as I was too busy to learn proper German and the Swiss German dialect when I came here some 44 years ago…
But! We do use e.g. "merci" rather than the standard German "danke". So there are a few French words in my active vocabulary…

You should hear my Mandarin ...

 

Just kidding.

Are you sure?

First time I have heard that and does not work here 

It's CTRL+Return on Windows

Thank you for catching my mistake. I corrected my post above.
