Hide Selection in Designer

[TLeyva]

I have only been using Designer for about 2 weeks. There is an issue that I can't figure out. In almost every art program I've ever used there is a way to hide a selection, aka marching ants. Is there a way to do this in Designer? The visible selection can be very distracting. Thanks.

Hello TLeyva,

"Ctrl + D" for Windows, "Cmd + D" for Mac.

@reglico would ctrl+D not delete the selection.

unchecking view>show pixel selection hides the selection.

in preferences you can set a shortcut for this.

Hello Dutchshader,

You're right it exists in Photo but it is about Designer and unless I miss something this option is not available there.

Hi TLeyva,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
I've filled an improvement request for this some time ago and it was already assigned to a developer however due to the teams being very busy it wasn't implemented yet. I've bumped the original request and added a link to this thread for reference to bring it to dev teams attention. Please bear with us.

nice gesture, but France is a little bit to far.

It's been three years. Any chance we can get you to bump the request again?
