GRScott Posted July 6, 2014 Posted July 6, 2014 After selecting an objectIs I hit "shift-command-D" and nothing appends. Is the de-select working? Also, most all Mac programs use just "Command-D" for deselecting. Gregg OS X Version 10.14.6 iMac 27" 3.2 GHz i5- 32 GB Huion Kamvas Pro 20 iPad Pro 12.9" IOS 13 AD = OS IOS, AP = OS IOS
Staff MEB Posted July 6, 2014 Staff Posted July 6, 2014 SHIFT + command + D is working on my system. That's probably another problem related with shortcuts and keyboard configs. Anyway SHIFT+command+D is for deselecting pixel based selections. To deselect vector objects or quit out most of the tools pressing ESC will do it. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
GRScott Posted July 7, 2014 Author Posted July 7, 2014 Thanks MEB, yes I was trying to deselect a vector object. It seems to me that you should be able to use the same key strokes for both pixel based and vector objects. But then, I don't know the problems of programming something like that.

retrograde Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 I agree GRScott, I think it should be the same for both modes... http://www.kevincreative.com https://www.behance.net/kevincreative https://www.instagram.com/kevincreative/ https://childrensillustrators.com/kevinhouse/portfolio/
rui_mac Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 Actually, I always assume that Command+D stands for Duplicate.
GRScott Posted August 2, 2014 Author Posted August 2, 2014 If you have already selected something, then Command-D is usually "Deselect" in most programs I've seen. Gregg OS X Version 10.14.6 iMac 27" 3.2 GHz i5- 32 GB Huion Kamvas Pro 20 iPad Pro 12.9" IOS 13 AD = OS IOS, AP = OS IOS
rui_mac Posted August 2, 2014 Posted August 2, 2014 I would rather have Command+A to select all and Shift+Command+A or Alt+Command+A to deselect. Just like a toggle. Then, Command+D to duplicate. But that is just my opinion, of course :-)
RBCK Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I have also noticed strange behavior with deselecting objects. It appears in relation to nested layers (grouped objects). When I use the "Deselect" function (Cmd-D...btw. why not Cmd-Shift-A?), the currently selected object loses handles, but the corresponding layer in the Layers palette remains highlighted. Whats more, I'm not able to select another objects (just by clicking using the Move Tool). I have to click on the root layer in the palette, then to an empty space between the objects and then on the desired object.
