MartinK Posted November 20, 2016 Posted November 20, 2016 Hello, it's annoying that own keyboard shortcuts in Affinity Designer and Photo (for Windows) get lost with every restart. It would be useful, that they always will be loaded. Regards, Martin

Staff Chris B Posted November 22, 2016 Staff Posted November 22, 2016 Hey Martin, I can't imagine you are doing anything wrong... I don't have a problem with saving shortcuts either. Could you give me an example of a few that you have and I'll do the exact same ones and we'll see if I can reproduce it.I know this is a pain in the neck, but you can, at least for now, Save your settings and just Load them whenever you run the app up as opposed to typing them in manually each time.

MartinK Posted November 22, 2016 Author Posted November 22, 2016 Hi Chris, what should I write great... I created my own shortcut for the brush and went to Save. Whenever I restart Affinity, I need to reload the saved file so that the custom keyboard shortcuts are active.
SrPx Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 Then... I dunno the standard name they use for loading the default shortcuts -if they read it actually from a plain text file!- but knowing it, maybe first copy that file somwhere safe so you can roll back to it easily, and then, your custom file save it with that exact name. Dunno if it'd work, is what I'd try. AD, AP and APub V2.6.x. Windows 10 and Windows 11.
AlainP Posted November 22, 2016 Posted November 22, 2016 I just modified many shortcuts and AP kept them all... But I changed many and a bug poped out. Reported on this post. -- Window 11 - 32 gb - Intel I7 - 8700 - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 -- iPad Pro 2020 - 12,9 - 256 gb - Apple Pencil 2 -- iPad 9th gen 256 gb - Apple Pencil 1 -- Macbook Air 15" - Mac mini M2-Pro - 16 gb
MartinK Posted November 23, 2016 Author Posted November 23, 2016 @SrPx: And what is the standard name for loading the default shortcuts?
SrPx Posted November 23, 2016 Posted November 23, 2016 No idea, but could be at : %AppData%\Roaming\Affinity\Photo\1.0 (Beta)\Workspaces\Photo (the percentage symbol is to tell you that it is wherever you might have that system folder. Often it is C:\Users\whoever you are\AppData\.... And file is called Shortcuts.xml (yep, only the starting S key is a capital). Is an XML plain text file, I don't know if would be a good idea to edit that directly.... Or maybe, from the AP shortcuts configuration window, name your file just wit the same name.... AD, AP and APub V2.6.x. Windows 10 and Windows 11.
MartinK Posted November 23, 2016 Author Posted November 23, 2016 Ok, thanks, I found it. But there is no effect when I named the file Shortcuts or Shortcuts.xml.
SrPx Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 did you try then editing the shortcuts by hand in a good text editor -strong advice here for Notepad++ ? may that keep your changes permanently ? AD, AP and APub V2.6.x. Windows 10 and Windows 11.
MartinK Posted November 24, 2016 Author Posted November 24, 2016 No, I didn't - I'll leave it for now. And think it might be better to remember the shortcuts.
SrPx Posted November 24, 2016 Posted November 24, 2016 The shortcuts work for me, they stay as I did set them. The only difference is that I don't even went to save all as a file. Maybe the bug is there... AD, AP and APub V2.6.x. Windows 10 and Windows 11.
MartinK Posted November 25, 2016 Author Posted November 25, 2016 So when I didn't save all as a file Affinity Photo forget the shortcuts, too.
SrPx Posted November 26, 2016 Posted November 26, 2016 Really strange that does not happen to me... Makes me thing as if your folder or shortcuts file were protected or sth, lol...Hard to replicate to me , as here works nice...:s AD, AP and APub V2.6.x. Windows 10 and Windows 11.
