Keyboard shortcut list

[ianrb]

Someone was asking about Keyboard shortcuts recently  
Perhap we could list our favourites/most used (??) --   I could list the ones I have forgotten but I cannot remember which ones I have forgotten  (soorrryyy)

Why not use these:

[Gear maker]

These cheat sheets are great, but very limited.  How would I know from these that (using Designer on a mac for example):

shift + cmd + [  will move the selected layer to the bottom of the group

opt + cmd + [  will change the selected layer to the next layer in the group 

or

opt + cmd R  will switch to the Draw Persona

opt + cmd E  will switch to the Export Persona

opt + cmd P  will switch to the Pixel Persona

or

opt + clicking  on a handle would delete the handle

or

ctrl + drag  on the corner of a bounding box will rotate the box around the opposite corner

or

etc. etc. etc.

The cheat sheet doesn't address modifiers other than cmd.  Or using multiple modifiers.  Or modifiers used with a click or drag of the mouse.  Though some of those have been added to the MODIFIERS & LAYER CONTROL portion of the cheat sheet.

I find the list in the Help > Workspace > Keyboard shortcuts to be a much more comprehensive list and it is searchable.

Move Tool (V)
Node Tool (A) {added as custom shortcut to Affinity Photo so both apps use the same shortcut}
Duplicate (⌘J)
Change brush size (left & right square brackets)
Zoom to fit (⌘0) and to 100% (⌘1)

Text Frame Tool  (T)(T) drives me up the wall that I never use the Artistic Text Tool so the first (T) is wasted on me.

Foreground/Fill to Background/Stroke colour swap (X)

Then why not remove the T shortcut for the Artistic text Tool in Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts?

Because I am stupid. I honestly assumed they were tied together. I am Too Thick. How many years have I had Designer and never Thought To Try That.

I think you meant to type ‘Tied Together’!

Too Tired to correct it, and I didn't want to waste band width by going back to correct it.

Hey, hang on... D'oh!

Yeah, I could really use a text-searchable pdf that just lists them all. Like, is there even a shortcut to cycle pen modes? I want to customize them as little as possible, because I use a Razer gamepad for all my hotkeys and I can just program those buttons to match the program I'm using.

We are on the road with that...

I can't read it yet but it is some sort of text file.
