patrickfoster Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 These are the ones I'd like a lot: Option+Drag to copy Option-arrow for leading/kerning. Its a hell of a good product, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrograde Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 I think the ability to assign keyboard shortcuts will address a lot of the questions/wishlist items for many here. I think in another forum somewhere it was mentioned it will be an up coming feature... I can imagine there's some back end magic that needs to be in place before it can be realized. Can't wait though! :) Quote http://www.kevincreative.com https://www.behance.net/kevincreative https://dribbble.com/kevincreative https://www.instagram.com/kevincreative/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Provost Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I think customizable keyboard shortcuts will really help users moving from other applications get acquainted with Designer. As a longtime Illustrator user, most shortcuts are muscle-memory. Being able to assign these same shortcuts to Designer's tools and functions would be a great help.

leifm Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Agree with muscle memory comment above although I am not against finding new workflows that works better than previous learned. First post.. chucking these ideas in here. 1. I would like to be able to at least assign shortcuts to existing functions such as "lock layer/object" that exist or be able to activate it through the layer palette where I can noq only turn it off but not on. Being able to lock/unlock trace layers would be a huge help for me at least. 2. Love idea of mixing vector and pixels and the workflow here works nice. Now I would like to have drag-activated brush-size to pixelbrush with a decent smudge and updated dirt/texture brush :) 3. Better speed on the vector-brush :) It updates a bit choppy here when using pressure on wacom First vector app that I am looking into after being dissappointed with many other newcommers... illustrator user of over 10 years here :) Quote Portfolio Youtube Channel Twitter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adroewer Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I miss a lot of shortcuts, too. I like the fact that you din't try to invent a complete new set of shortcuts. Please just stick to the standards. It makes the transition so much easier. What i miss: Cmd + E for export Cmd + D for Place Cmd + B for Break into Curves And a german keyboard compatible "Move forward" and backwards shortcut – cmd ] [ does not work since we have to do it with alt key?

rui_mac Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Never understood or liked the Command+D for Place. To me, Command+D is obviously "Duplicate".But maybe I'm too old school ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adroewer Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Well, cmd + P wouldn't be too intuitive either hm? ;) cmd + D works in InDesign, the app I still like best from Adobe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rui_mac Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 If an application doesn't have an obvious "Invert" command, I guess Command+I would be nice as it stands for "Import".Actually, almost all applications used to "Import" instead of "Place" because "Import" is the counterpart of "Export". The "Import" command means "insert into the document, another document that is not in the native format" and the "Export" command means "save the current document in a format that is not the native format".And I agree wholeheartedly. InDesign is the best app from Adobe, besides Photoshop, that is ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaneRobinson Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I'm new to Affinity Designer after using Fireworks since it was created by Macromedia. PS and Illustrator are so overly complicated for simple graphics production...Thank Zod for Affinity Designer now that Fireworks has been tossed aside by Adobe. The TWO keyboard shortcuts that are really missing for me are Duplicate (whatever is currently selected) and Place... On a Mac, duplicate has always been cmd + D. That just makes sense. For "Place..." it's Shift + CMD + P in Illustrator and also just makes sense that it would be the same in Affinity products. In searching the forums first before I created a new feature request thread, I see there is mention of custom keyboard shortcuts. My workflow will definitely be much faster once I can create the usual shortcuts.
