Staff MEB Posted December 7, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 7, 2016 Hi animationhalo, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Currently Affinity can't assign shortcuts to macros. Let me know if i've misunderstood you. I'm moving this thread to the Feature Requests section. animationhalo 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted December 7, 2016 Staff Share Posted December 7, 2016 As far as i know currently you can't. You can only disable them unchecking the checkbox in front of each one.

I agree it might be a nice thing. Seconded. I suppose it might depend on patterns of use. For example, I just created a macro called Rot180 to "solve" the problem I erroneously pointed out yesterday about rotating through 180 degrees. Rot180 rotates an image through 180 degrees. It's actually quite easy to use if the Macro Library panel is open, but if shortcuts were a possiblity presumably this macro could be used in any context.

I just recorded a macro b/c Affinity Photo still doesn't have a shortcut where I can separate a selection from its layer - in PS that would be CTRL/CMD+SHIFT+J. I used that quite a bit in PS for all sorts of things, and Affinity doesn't have it. I requested it a while back, I think. Seems like a small thing from a UX standpoint.

Haffinity Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Any plans for Affinity to assign keyboard shortcuts to macros? I miss this feature! AP 1.8.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xairoo Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Yeah it looks like it's still missing. Would be very useful! Or at least the option to run the last called macro again using a hotkey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briantium Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Yes, please! Not being able to assign a keyboard shortcut to a Macro—the way you can for Photoshop Actions—seems to be one of the missing features that still gives Photoshop the advantage between the two, at least so far as I have seen for my workflow as I've experimented with Affinity as a potential PS replacement. I personally use it to drop a watermark in with one click via the Wacom ExpressKey Remote thanks to the keyboard shortcut and that knocks out several extra clicks to locate the folder, then the subfolder, then the file, the dragging it into the document, etc etc. Would be great to do the same in Affinity (although clicking the Macro in the panel isn't the worst thing in the world, but again it's just something PS can do...).

SansRT Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Please please please please allow keyboard shortcuts to be assigned to Macros. Macros become about 20x more powerful when you can trigger them with a keystroke. I had well over a hundred Actions in PS, and they sped up my workflow maybe 10x or more. Some tasks would involve triggering five or six Actions in fairly quick succession, which is a nightmare when you have to scroll up and down a huge list in a tiny, tiny Macros window. As it stands, macros in Affinity are almost worthless to me, barely more than a toy. Assigning shortcuts to them would change that radically.

hy13 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Hi SansRT, I agree to your request but I fear, that you will not get it solved soon. See the macro functionality, as it is at present, is very limited. Would be better to expand macro functionality first to a higher level. Perhaps it will help when requesting macro functions first and later on the shortcuts feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyal Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 I understand, you have a lot of feature requests, but to be able to assign a shortcut to a recorded macro is a very basic but crucial thing to have! +1 Rober 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pouypoy Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 I agree with this topic. This option is waited for a long time from Affinity users around me. Very conveniant for coloring comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
