000 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 See title ... it would be very helpful for me, if there was a single button (or keyboard shortcut) to view and hide guides, baselines and so on. That would help me to switch easily from "working" to "evaluating the design / layout". Dolly Levi and SwissGraphicDesign 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwissGraphicDesign Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 I think the CTRL + SHIFT + W shortcut is not good as a preset, because: - its too complicated to remember (3 keys) - it's very similar to CTRL + W which closes the document, if you happen to not press the shift key properly.

(CTRL + SHIFT + W) still doesn't work for me… I don't know, and can't check as I'm on Windows. But as this is a Publisher topic, there's also the Preview Mode button (windshield wiper) icon in the Toolbar you should be able to click.

The shortcut that is specific to Show Guides is Ctrl+; on Windows. Perhaps Cmd+; on Mac.

For "Show Guides" I've been using a custom shortcut since many years in all other design apps that support it: cmd-$ because "$" is a key on the Swiss keyboard layout, and it's rarely used anywhere. (Interestingly, some apps don't accept the "$" character as a shortcut for some odd reasons, e.g. some audio editing apps, while in others like Logic Pro I'm using the $ key for "$tart Recording". Affinity can deal with the $ just fine though.)
