Gackt Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Hello, May I ask how to add on top of an existing lasso selection, via keyboard shortcut? I press L and make a selection. After letting go of L and mouse click, the selection is made. Now how can I continue ADDING NEW lasso selections from other parts of the image, appending onto the current selection? I tried pressing SHIFT like in Photoshop, but it just switches over to polygonal lasso selection. I see the buttons on top for NEW, ADD, SUBTRACT, INTERSECT. But I'd like to know if Affinity has shortcuts for it. Hope it makes sense and thanks Quote

walt.farrell Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 I'm curious, for you who are on Windows, does Drag+RightMouse really work to add to a selection? When I try it, I get the proper cursor with a plus sign, but no additional selection is made. When I move the mouse I get no additional marquee drawn. On the other hand, switching to Add mode, I get the same cursor, and when I drag using the left mouse button I get a new selection added to the prior one. (This happens in both 1.6 and 1.7 of Photo.)

The trick is to hold down the right-hand button and then release the left-hand mouse button first. walt.farrell 1 Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.
Gackt Posted January 12, 2019 Author Posted January 12, 2019 Yea it works. But it kinda feels bad to use. I primarily paint with a wacom... And my Rmb is the top most nub.. So I have to crimp my fingers upwards in a claw shape, while dragging. Lol. But that's just me, for mouse users I'd imagine it is fine. Quote
drawup Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 (edited) Hi, How does the 'RightMouse' work in Windows with a tablet? Everytime i use the RightMouse, a pop-up will appear because I 'RightClick' as well, and the popup is blocking my nodes. For example, Click+Rightmouse to Smooth node Edited August 10, 2020 by drawup update Quote
Frozen Death Knight Posted August 10, 2020 Posted August 10, 2020 @drawup Doesn't matter much anymore. In 1.8.4 they changed all R click+L click type of shortcuts to ctrl+alt+L click. Just hold down ctrl and alt while using your pen and mouse and you will be able to do what the old shortcut did. Alternatively you can use alt gr on the right side of the Spacebar key.

'Ctrl+ Alt' does not substitute 'RightMouse' like u suggested does not seem to perform the same, am i understanding it wrongly? Edited August 13, 2020 by drawup Quote

Well, since I barely use that tool, I didn't come across this issue. However, now when you mentioned it, I sat down and tried it out myself, and I can also confirm this being the case. You are right that this is an inconsistency, since pretty much all the other shortcuts were changed. I would suggest making a report about it, since the devs quite explicitly stated that they were removing all type of R click shortcuts while replacing them with modifiers instead. Quote
Frozen Death Knight Posted August 13, 2020 Posted August 13, 2020 @drawup Never mind, I just made the report myself. Quote
