walt.farrell Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 I've highlighted 4 default shortcuts below, for Text Size Bigger (or Precise Bigger) and Smaller (or Precise Smaller). Note that they show as combinations of ctrl and alt and the > or < keys: Those work. However, if I try to recreate those shortcuts, they end up as: Ctrl+Shift+. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+, Ctrl+Shift+, Of course, on a standard US keyboard the > is a shifted . and the < is a shifted , and I suppose they might be laid out differently on some other keyboard. And this isn't just an issue for Publisher, as it also affects Designer and Photo. But the inconsistency between the initial presentation and what the user can actually set is at best annoying, and at worst a (small) bug, so I figured I'd post here. Feel free to move somewhere else if it's really a feature request or a "By Design" Quote -- 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.

Chris_K Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Hi Walt, the shortcut s focused on the actual characters used. This has been intended since the start of the Affinity Apps Quote Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just checked and Cmd + = is good for Zoom In which the Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts says is Cmd + + "+" is Shift "=" on this keyboard. Also I am sure that Zoom In used to work that way Cmd + Shift + = to get the Plus. Hope you can decipher this.

This has been intended since the start of the Affinity Apps Thanks, Chris, but I guess I'm not sure what you mean by "the actual characters used", Chris. Yes, the default shortcut for increase size shows the Ctrl and the > key, but > is shift+. and if I try to set the shortcut to Ctrl+> Affinity insists on calling it Ctrl+Shift+. instead.

Stepaan Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 I'm not a coder, but... 😄 I think, some applications can "chase" a certain key pressed, while the others "read" the character written on it. Affinity product do the second trick I believe. Can anyone prove me wrong (right)? 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
