Automatically make stroke match Fill?

[Alt]

Hey!

This is my first day using Affinity Designer, and I'm struggling with a few basic things.  My questions may seem usual and might have you wondering why I might need to do that, but I have valid reasons behind them. XD

Is it possible to 'link' the stroke and fill colour so that when I change the colour of a shape, the stroke becomes the same colour automatically?

Can you delete all strokes or are they integral?

Can you select fills based on colour?  I.E. like the wand tool in Photoshop where is selects every instance of one or similar colours.

Thank you for any help!

There is no linking of stroke & fill colors but you can delete stroke colors at least three ways:

• by selecting the object(s) & clicking on the tiny 'no color' button in the Color Studio panel with the stroke color frontmost (it looks like a white circle with a red slash through it)

• by setting the stroke width to "None" in the context toolbar

• by clicking on the 'No Line Style' button in the Styles section in the Stroke Studio panel (it looks like a white square with a red slash through it).

I’m not sure about ‘linking’ but you could perhaps use ‘global’ colours.

If you set both fill and stroke colour to be a global colour, if you amend the colour, every instance of that colour used in the document changes. So both fill and stroke would change together. In a linked sort of way.

Thank you for the responses!  Unfortunately the Global colours won't help me, but that's good to know for the future!

And as for deleting the strokes I didn't think I had done it right because it was leaving a  small gap between shapes.  Do you know if there's a way to not show that gap?
