Interior Book Design Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 At first, thank you very much for your enourmous effort and zeal to bring us such a beautiful piece of software! It is a pleasure to test Affinity Publisher! I DO have a features request. I wish there would be a presentation mode in Publisher like in ID. In ID 've created a custom shortcut for this mode: Pause. So, after having typeset a few pages of my book, I make a "pause" hitting this key. ID instantaneously switches to fullscreen mode, hiding all rulers, guides, hidden characters and so on. The background turns black. So, I can go through the pages without disctraction. If I'm ready marvelling at my work, I hit "Esc" and continue typesetting. Okay, in Publisher you can do: Ctrl + Shift + W and Tab and Ctrl + 0 and you can (manually) turn a window into fullscreen mode, which leads to almost the same result. (And you can still edit the spread! Very good!) but I'm looking for a "all-in-one solution", a kind of "combined super shortcut". :-) I'm using this feature all the type. Besides, QuarkXPress (for Windows, not for Mac OS) does not even allow you to turn a document window into fullscreen mode, so QuarkXPress for Windows, in my view, is much more difficult to work with. Thanks! woefi, Paul.mmm and yc627 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermurph Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Nice idea. Corel Draw also has this handy feature which in addition to hiding everything, also resizes your design to fit and align for optimum viewing. Would be great to have this.

GalaxySurfer Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Hi, I'm new to Affinity Publisher but I definitely would like this. I'm a Sketch user and love the way you can clean up all the panels with the CMD + . shortcut, which is super handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
