000 Posted August 30, 2018 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

SwissGraphicDesign Posted August 30, 2018 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. Quote

Brian020 Posted January 8, 2023 Posted January 8, 2023 Was this ever resolved? Looking for a quick way to hide all guides on Mac Os. (CTRL + SHIFT + W) still doesn't work for me… Quote

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.

It cannot "work" if it hasn't been assigned at all.

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.)
