clamnuts Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Loving Publisher so far. My main hangover from my InDesign workflow is having to open the Properties dropdown every time I need to Scale to fit etc. Please make them mappable commands or even allow us to set one of the properties as a default.

Robert Laskey Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Has this been resolved? I don't find any shortcuts or workarounds for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Items on the Context Toolbar generally do not have shortcuts. For a workaround: You can save a Picture Frame with the options you commonly want as an Asset. Then when you want another one you can drag it onto the page from the Assets panel. -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

I for example pretty much always use command Scale to Max Fit. Right next to Properties in Context Toolbar is the icon for Size Picture Frame to Content. Why don't we have other shortcuts? We definitely need those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if it did, the hotkeys are still very crucial. Designing is all about experimentation, trial and error. Hotkeys will make this possible.

prophet Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 +1 for key commands for Picture Frame Properties. One can also access the properties by right clicking on the picture frame and viewing the Frame Properties contextual menu. I also wish there were an icon or some visual indicator on the selected frame showing what property is being applied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
