shushustorm Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 Hello everyone! I'd like to request a feature: Pressing a shortcut to select a tool shouldn't select the standard tool for that key, but rather the tool that has been used last for that key. For example: When using the "Inpainting Brush Tool", after clicking B for the "Paint Brush Tool", clicking J will not select "Inpainting Brush Tool" again, but rather the "Healing Brush Tool". This means, I have to cycle through all the tools to jump back and forth from "Inpainting Brush Tool" and "Paint Brush Tool". I think the behaviour could be optimized when Photo and Designer use the last tool that has been selected when pressing a shortcut. It would allow a faster workflow. Best wishes, Shu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 If the tool isn't in a group and you press its shortcut key twice, the second keypress selects the previous tool again. So if you've been using the Inpainting Brush Tool and you've pressed B to switch to the Paint Brush Tool, just press B again to go back to the Inpainting Brush Tool. You can also customize the keyboard shortcuts to give the Inpainting Brush Tool (or any other tool in a group) its own shortcut. shushustorm 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shushustorm Posted January 23, 2017 Author Share Posted January 23, 2017 @Alfred Thanks for your reply! However, I do need the groups to access the different tools. For now, I deleted all the other tools from keyboard shortcut J so that Inpainting Brush Tool will always be selected on J. Unfortunately, this way, I have no more shortcuts for any other tools that used to be assigned to J, though. Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
