Hawaiianmade Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I would LOVE to have quick key commands for justifying text as well as applying text styles. Commands such as command-shift-c (Mac) for centering text blocks and selected text would be a great time saver! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can assign Keyboard shortcuts to Paragraph styles. Look at 'Edit Text Style' on the first page. It's about half way down the options there. d. somnolentsurfer 1 Quote Affinity Designer 1 & 2 | Affinity Photo 1 & 2 | Affinity Publisher 1 & 2 Affinity Designer 2 for iPad | Affinity Photo 2 for iPad | Affinity Publisher 2 for iPad Windows 11 64-bit - Core i7 - 16GB - Intel HD Graphics 4600 & NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M iPad pro 9.7" + Apple Pencil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted December 29, 2018 Share Posted December 29, 2018 There are also defined keyboard shortcuts for the text alignment options. E.g., on Windows, Ctrl+Alt+C for Align Center, Ctrl+Alt+L for Align Left, and Ctrl+Alt+R for Align Right. Also Ctrl+Alt+| for Justify Left. I'm not sure what they are for Mac (possibly simply Cmd rather than Ctrl). You can change the definitions if you want, and you can also assign shortcuts for Justify Right and Justify All, which don't have default shortcuts. (I would not recommend using Justify All; Justify Left is probably what most users will want.) You'll find all of those in Preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts, under Layout/Text.

claidheamdanns Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Mac keyboard shortcuts for the ones that @walt.farrell mentioned are: Option + Command + C (⌥⌘C) for Align Center, Option + Command + L (⌥⌘L) for Align Left, and Option + Command + R (⌥⌘R) for Align Right. Also Option + Command + | (⌥⌘|) for Justify Left. Please note that | is vertical pipe, so you actually have to hold down Option + Command + Shift + \ (⌥⌘⇧\) to get Justify Left.

claidheamdanns Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 @dominik first page of what? Could you post a screen shot. The ability to assign hot keys to styles is very important to me, and I stumbled on your note here, but can't follow it to find where to do this.

Ideagonal Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 I assume you cannot assign a shortcut to "Edit (Text style name here)" as there is not such command in any menu bar item ? I know it is just a double click on the Text Style name, but I love shortcuts.
