zookirb Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 When I make a magic wand selection, I would like to do some refinement with the freehand selection tool. However, I can't find the keyboard shortcut for adding to my existing selection rather than just making a new selection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted May 18, 2017 Staff Share Posted May 18, 2017 Hi zookirb, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) After changing to the Freehand Selection Tool press ⌃(ctrl) + drag to add to the selection (left mouse button + right mouse button + drag on Windows) and ⌥ (option/alt) + drag to remove from the selection (ALT + drag on Windows). Check the bottom of the application window for additional shortcuts/modifiers. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCamachoDesign Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 (left mouse button + right mouse button + drag on Windows) Hi! Why not Ctrl + drag to add to a selection like on Mac? I find it rather odd. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 21, 2017 Staff Share Posted June 21, 2017 Because the Mac has four modifier keys available while Windows only have three, so we had to make some compromises. I agree that this is not very intuitive on Windows and we are considering changing it. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCamachoDesign Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I see... I hope you find a nice solution, the current one isn't very intuitive as you said. In the meantime, I've been made aware of another awesome keyboard shortcut on Mac that can't be used on Windows, it's Control + Option + Drag to change a brush size and hardness on the go. Is there any way to do this on Windows? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
