StevieB Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 If you add a colour to the swatches panel (any) and you want to delete it, the default ctrl+click on swatch doesn't bring up the contextual pop-up menu, so you're unable to delete the swatch. It works as it should in Affinity Photo... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 Deleting added swatches works fine for me, but what does not work is deleting an entire palette I added as a document palette.

StevieB Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Yes, you can delete the colours if you are using a mouse... I'm on a Macbook Pro, and the contextual menu don't appear on the swatches panel when using the click and ctrl using the trackpad to click and holding down the ctrl key. I still think it's a bug...

mac_heibu Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Simply right click on your Mac. CTRL+click seems tobe broken. if right click doesn‘t work, go to your Mac‘s mouse preferences and activate the „secondary click“. Right click on a trackpad can be emulated by a two-finger-tap.

StevieB Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 That’s the problem! I don’t use a mouse so I can’t ‘right click’. This is a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Pauls Posted September 19, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 19, 2018 I'll log this ctrl+Click should work (for the sake for the help teams sanity) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff MEB Posted September 19, 2018 Staff Share Posted September 19, 2018 Hi StevieB, You can "emulate" a right-click with the trackpad as well. Go to macOS Preferences, Trackpad section and enable the secondary click as shown in the screenshot below.

StevieB Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Hi MEB, Thanks for the info, I was aware of that, but coming from the early days of Illustrator (Version 3 on Floppy discs!) on the Mac and a single button mouse, old habits are hard to unlearn! Using 2 fingers to control click does seen un-intutive especially if you're used to the old way. A lot of the layout tools are easier to control if you just use the Ctrl button especially if you're moving between the shift and the cmd. I also use a tablet so it's sort of ingrained in me to use the ctrl+click method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
