IPAD Keyboard Support

[thebiggins]

Does the iOS version of Affinity Photo support keyboard hotkeys?  I use my IPAD Pro with a Logitech keyboard and would love to use CTRL-C and CTRL-V for copy/paste (they currently don't work).

Thank you,

Kevin

Hi thebiggins,

No, we haven't implemented this properly yet.

Has anyone heard of any developments on this?

I just can't work at the same speed on my iPad as I can on a desktop without better keyboard support (by a long way).

Hi RVGM,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
No news at this point. I believe this will be looked at later after Affinity Designer for iPad it out (no eta).

Hi,

Thats a shame, but thank you for the response. I'll keep an eye out for future updates.

I used AP on the iPad with the Apple Keyboard attached, and there are quite some shortcuts working.

E and B are for eraser and brush, CMD+C copies a marqueed selection and CMD+V pastes it as a new layer. The same works for the currently selected layer.

Just play around, You might be surprised what already works via keyboard. Be aware that the same keys have different functions depending on the persona.

Is there any update on ETA on this feature? Literally just signed up to this forum for this question.

Haven’t really seen any keyboard additions yet. The touch gestures (1, 2, or 3 finger holds) help to replace some keyboard features, such as holding shift/cmd whilst transforming an object etc, but I don’t find them as easy to use whilst working fast.
