davidlee Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 What is the keyboard shortcut to escape using the artistic text tool? I've tried cmd+enter, which works on other applications, but this seems to convert the text to paths. I've also tried repeated hitting the escape which some forums seem to mention, or hitting cmd+d to deselect, but neither of these allow me to escape. My use case is after I type the text I want to move it in its entirety, but to do that I literally have to drag the mouse all the way to the selection tool, then drag all the way back to re-select the text and then be able to move it. it would be much easier to be able to escape, type v for the selection, and move. Thanks to anyone who can help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Escape, then V, should work. Escape takes you out of text editing mode while leaving the object selected, and then V switches to the Move tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 5, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 5, 2016 @Dave Harris, I'm also having trouble with this in macOS Sierra. Have to check on El Capitan. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Harris Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 I'm not able to test it on Mac, but it works on Windows. I see this thread mentions it not working on Sierra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
