misc33 Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 In Affinity Designer's Pixel Persona, I want to switch back and forth rapidly between the paintbrush and the eraser. Is there any other way to do this, other than pressing the keyboard shortcut E for eraser, and the letter B, TWICE, for the paintbrush? I'm looking for a single key toggle that can take me back and forth rapidly between these two tools. Is there such a thing? Is there any way to determine which tool the keyboard shortcut B selects first? It's very frustrating having to press B twice (first world problems, I know), because it seems like an unnecessary movement and sometimes I forget I've only pressed it once and end up using the pixel tool.

R C-R Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 This seems to work without problems for me: 1. In Preferences > Keyboard shortcuts select Pixel & Tools from the popups. 2. Uncheck "Apply to all" so changes affect only the Pixel Persona. (I forgot to do this but it seemed to have no adverse effects.) 3. Delete the shortcut for the Pixel tool (or change it to something else). 4. Change the shortcut for the Eraser from E to B. This way, tapping the B key should toggle between the Paintbrush & Eraser tools. misc33, RNKLN and carl123 3 Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
