Jim Monson Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 AD has a convenient keystroke to create a new layer but once the layer appears I must click another time to name the layer. It would be very helpful and a time-saver if the new layer would come up with the label name area already selected (open), ready to type. It would seem to me that anyone creating a new layer would automatically want to name it, unless one were creating a bunch of empty layers. Of course, by double clicking a layer name one can rename the layer. However, if one clicks too quickly it makes the layer object full screen. I have gotten used to this, but holding OPT down while clicking the layer name might be easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Both agree and disagree... usually I do want to name a layer (in which case the extra click is annoying) But sometimes I just want a layer as a temporary dumping ground, in which instance having to name it would be a pain. So, I suggest... Click new layer, creates layer and inserts cursor for instant entry of name. Alt + Click new layer just creates layer with default Layer1 type name. Or vice versa.

Jim Monson Posted December 29, 2016 Author Share Posted December 29, 2016 I understand the difference, but if I do not want a permanent name, then I simply click "xxx" or some type of keystroke that tells me I can toss it later. This would save from yet another Alt shortcut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fixx Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 umm.. you could just ignore naming and layer name activation disappears (gets default name) when you do your thing using what ever tools you want. Of course if you try to change tool by pressing a key it would not work, also text tool would be a problem... then you need ESC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
