Affinity Design - Automating Tasks / Macros / Scripts

[LyricsGirl]

Hi,

I frequently use the Export  section to export in SVG - Export at 300dpi and also PNG. However, using the Shortcut Keys is bit hard as I am not a contortionist! ( Need to use the CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-S keys together and I have short stubby pinkies! How can I reset this key combo to a single keystroke please? Also, is there any way I can record a standard set of commands into some sort of scrip[t? e.g. If I purchase a Vector alphabet I need to  isolate each letter and doing so by layers is a nightmare (designers note! as nothing is grouped, so the fastest way is to select all items for each imaged char and copy then paste new from clipboard.Save As  AD native format then Export in SVG 300dpi and also a copy in PNG format for wider usage.

 

 

I hope this makes sense!

 

Thank you!

You can set the keyboard shortcut to whatever you want in Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts. Select the Draw Persona from the first popup & File from the second (which narrows it down to the File menu items in the Draw Persona) & scroll down to "Export..." Click once in the space showing the current shortcut & type whatever you want as the new shortcut. Just keep in mind that you can't use a key combination already in use for another shortcut (you get a warning about that).
