Usability Improvements

Simple things would go a long way:

1.' Enter' to rename a layer

2. custom keyboard shortcuts to be honored across Personas. Right now I have 'Q', 'W' set to increase decrease brush size, but the app defaults to '[' and ']' during liquify.

3. App STILL does not remember "Current Layer and Below" settings. In fact it reverts to Current Layer for each document that is opened. Rather frustrating.

Please consider the above or at least convince me why these are not possible...

1. Do you have a particular problem with the current method?

2. Custom keyboard shortcuts should work across Personas if you choose the ‘Apply to all’ option when setting them.

3. We’ve been waiting for sticky settings for a very long time.

Thanks for the quick follow up and your suggestions.

1. Yes, right now the only way I have found is to double click on a layer to rename it. Capture One actually changed this to 'enter' a few months back and I have got so used that this really slows me down. Creating a new layer and then going back to double clicking on the name with a pen interface isn't very productive.

Update: I actually tested it. Hitting the shortcut cmd+shft+N for the first layer actually allows 'enter' to rename it, but not for subsequent layers. LOL!

2. Awesome. I don't know how I missed that. Going in there and saving and loading my shortcuts now allows my settings for 'Q' and 'W'! Great.

3. yeah, had brought this up with Serif a LOOOONG time ago, but still waiting patiently. Can't be so hard to 'fix' this, me thinks! But I guess not enough people complaining.

I have to agree that selecting a layer and actually clicking Enter or selecting a 'rename' option would be preferable to the current system, as all too often I find myself clicking away because it's trying to rename itself. I've noticed others in tutorials doing the same thing, so it's not just me being a noob.
