Crionis Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 By hitting escape twice, I'd like to return to the Move tool no matter which another tool I currently have activated. This can be a nice reset shortcut that gets you back to the default selection state. Right now, escape only unselects the object, and that's great. But hitting esc the second time could be used to go even further back and get you back to the Move tool. I haven't seen it done in any other application, and I understand that some people may not actually like this idea, and I don't see it as crucial or anything. More like a nice workflow addition. Having an option in settings would probably do the trick. BatteriesInc and oskar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 9, 2017 Staff Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hi Crionis, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Double-clicking on an empty area on the canvas will deselect the object and switch to the Move Tool automatically.

Ah that's nice! I still think double escape could be a nice addition, so maybe consider it. But double click certainly works, thanks!

BatteriesInc Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 Upvote for the double "Esc" key - double clicking on a bit of empty canvas presumes you are zoomed out far enough to have that available, which is not always the case..
