rad Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 When you hold ctrl and select an object that's grouped together with another object, you select that object instead of the group. This is a great feature, and I use it a lot. When you hold ctrl and drag, you copy and drag the selected object. This feature is also available when you hold alt + drag. Is there a way to disable the ctrl + drag and only use alt + drag? Because I can't seem to stop making copies when I try to select a grouped object.

Staff MEB Posted December 5, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 5, 2016 Hi rad, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) The two copy modes are slightly different: ctrl + drag creates a copy but honours snapping while alt + drag creates a copy but overrides snapping.

rad Posted December 5, 2016 Author Share Posted December 5, 2016 I guess you want to keep it like that, but could the ctrl + drag command be made less sensitive? It runs the ctrl + drag command if you move the mouse 1px. Maybe change it to 5px before it runs that command. If someone wants to make a 1px copy, maybe ctrl + arrow keys could be easier. Thanks.
