R C-R Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 When I first launched the beta, several of the Document menu items indicated they were set to use a default keyboard shortcut including the up or down cursor arrow keys, but nothing happened when I typed them. Checking the Keyboard Shortcuts preferences I noticed there was a question mark in place of the arrow key symbol, which I assume is why they were not working. Reentering the default manually fixed this. Also, a very minor issue is when I set the Previous & Next Page shortcuts to use the Page Up & Page Down keys on my keyboard, that worked fine but in the Document window the shortcut is shown with plain up or down arrow symbols instead of the special ones like in the screenshot below.

Chris_K Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Hi R C-R it's not the down arrow key to add a new page, its the arrow with two lines through it (which i think is page up/down). But it's odd that it shows the correct glyph if manually typed so I shall get this reported Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I see there, compared to my current preferences: First Page is set to the Home key, Last Page to the End key, & Previous & Next are set to the Page Down & Page Up keys respectively. This is with a wired full-sized Apple Aluminum Keyboard that has the cluster of those 4 keys between the main keyboard section & the number keypad. All the shortcuts work fine. It is just the cosmetics that are wonky.

Like your screenshot, firstpage never shows an icon in the menu, but it works. In settings, I also get the question marks. I'm on Sierra 10.12.6 and using a german keyboard-layout.

woefi Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Next, I manually added shortcuts for column break, frame break and page break, but they all don't work... First I used the Indesign-standard ones with the ENTER key of the numeric keyboard. It shows correctly in settings (no question mark hoorray!) but does nothing (or inserts a space). Then I changed it to the RETURN key: shift+return, alt+return, ctrl-return and this also does not work...
