hhauten Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I had a correct tekst frame. All of a sudden, when I select the frame, in the layers panel the focus goes to a black square (Group). Under this I see a host of (curve) objects. When I try to edit the tekst in my frame, this seems impossible. Instead I seem to select a curve. I had redo my whole document from scratch.

Alfred Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 It sounds as though you may have tried to terminate the text entry by pressing Cmd+Return (Mac) or Ctrl+Enter (Windows), which is the default shortcut for ‘Convert to Curves ’.

hhauten Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 Can it be uncurved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhauten Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 I tested tis action, you are right. Shift and Ctl are close together! Also found it cannot be uncurved! I wish I had no such shortcut! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Backing up through the History panel you should be able to get to a point before you converted it to curves, I think. Of course, you'll lose anything done after that.

Jowday Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 That is why we need a story editor - this shortcut can be triggered by accident while editing text in a text frame. Fx an article. The entire paragraph will be converted to curves. At least. I assume no one will ever expect that to happen while the cursor blinks in a paragraph - or need the feature in text edit mode. Convert to curves just shouldn't be available while typing editorial text. Old Bruce 1 Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

Fixx Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 Users should just remove CMD-Return from shortcuts. It is not really needed as shortcut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fde101 Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I agree that seems like a bad shortcut to have there. If they are going to give it one it should be something strange like command+option+shift+F6 or whatever. Jowday 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
