how to fill a selection by pixels much faster

[Tom Schülke]

Well in Affinity theres one very important shortcut missing, which would improve working speed a lot.  I Talk about the possibilty in the layers menue to strg+lmb klick on a layer mask and select the mask, but not to be able as in photoshop, to     "shift"+"strg"+lmb.    klick several masks or layer one after the other to select increadibly fast all the stuff you need and get a additive pixelselection..

 

of course as already discussed you could save the different masks in the channels tab, and ad them   (this is by far slower then the shortcut approach)

or, as a workaround,

create a new pixellayer on top,   strg+lmb klick the layer you want the pixelselection from in the layers tab,      the new pixellayer stil selected and just press      shift+f5.   this would give you a new window to decide how to fill the selection..  

Well..

 

is there a way to just fill in the frontcolor of your colors, or white or black without every time to tell the programm... yes.  take the color..    

just one shortcut without the need to confirm that realy you need the color.. 

 

would improve much the workaround..

thanks

Hi Tom Schülke,

You can also set a shortcut to set the forground/background colour to Black and White in Affinity Preferences, Keyboards shortcuts (set the second dropdown to Miscellaneous).

Regarding the first suggestion (additive selections) there's already an improvement request filled for this.
