Remapping Affinity shortcuts in Mac OS

[champigny]

Hi folks,

I know that the shortcut for altering the brush size in Affinity Photo is either the "[" key or the "]".

On my Mac, I have a French Canadian keyboard and the "[" and "]" aren't where they are on a standard keyboard. I have to type opt+9 to get [ and opt+0 to get ]. These key combinations don't modify the brush size in Affinity Photo.

I thought I could just remap these keys for Affinity Photo in the MacOS System Preferences but to do that I have to supply a menu command and there is no menu command to alter the brush size, just the shortcut.

I know I can click on "Width" and drag the slider to modify the brush size, but I like the idea of a convenient shortcut.

Any ideas?

Instead of trying to change the key in System Preferences, try changing it in Affinity Photo's Keyboard Shortcuts. Select Photo in the first popup & any of the named brush tools in the second one, for example the Paint Brush or Color Replacement Brush Tool. Tick the "Apply to all" box & set the two shortcuts to something more convenient to type on your keyboard, & see if that works. (I can't test it myself because I don't have that keyboard.)

Don't forget to untick "Apply to all" when you are done if you do not want future shortcut changes to apply to all applicable functions.
