Ph0t0F1sh Posted April 23, 2018 Posted April 23, 2018 When clicking a value box to change the value inside, I get my cursor and have to delete what's in there before I can change the value. I would like to click on the box and just type a number in. It would save a lot of time. Or have I missed a setting?
Staff MEB Posted April 23, 2018 Staff Posted April 23, 2018 Hi Ph0t0F1sh, Welcome to Affinity Forums I believe this is by design. Affinity apps support math operations/expressions in the input fields. Keeping the values there may be useful in certain situations. A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Ph0t0F1sh Posted April 23, 2018 Author Posted April 23, 2018 Hi MEB, I didn't know that, but know I will maybe try it. But I still think that it the situation is suboptimal in most cases right now. I need three clicks to select everything in the boxes, and I'd appreciate a setting to change to one click (so whenever I type a new value the old one is automatically deleted). This could be completely optional, but it would speed up my workflow quite significantly. I bet this is were I lose the most time.
Pšenda Posted April 24, 2018 Posted April 24, 2018 Double-click on a value box to select whole value number, so entering a new value will overwrite the old one.

Ph0t0F1sh Posted April 24, 2018 Author Posted April 24, 2018 This is actually just like selecting text. But if I accidentally double click the 'px' term, I don't change the value. So I have to triple click to make sure that everything's selected. After I hit enter, the box behaves like I want. And if I hit tab, the next box is selected and I can start typing with the old value being deleted automatically. I'd just like to see this behaviour from the beginning.
