project_2501 Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Hi I am a heavy user of the alignment options (see pic). I find the number of mouse moves and clicks is slowing my workflow down. Can I assign presets to keyboard shortcuts? If so, how? I want to select a bunch of objects and press the key combination for them to be aligned according to the preset. habibandpatia 1 Quote

Don't think so but the top Toolbar can have one click custom "alignment" icons added to it. I think there are 14 in Designer and 9 available in Photo Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine.

Patrick C Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Well, when you have multiple objects selected you already get these. Affinity is also generally good with auto-spacing things with snaps + guides so I don't often end up using the Even Distribution alignment tool. 1 hour ago, carl123 said: Don't think so but the top Toolbar can have one click custom "alignment" icons added to it.

Hjelmstad Posted July 26, 2024 Posted July 26, 2024 Why was there a keyboard shortcut for this in Affinity Designer 1 and not in 2? Was something added that conflicted? There really should just be a way to add shortcuts for anyting in any menu. Is that hard to implement? Megnusin 1 Quote
Gabor Takacs Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Hi All, There is a way to apply a keyboard shortcut to this alignment as to everything else in Affinity by going into settings > Shortcuts > Select application in the 1st drop-down box (Publisher, Designer or Photo) than select layer in the second drop-down box find the function you would like to assign a shortcut to (Align Centre or Align Middle) and click in the corresponding box than assign the keyboard shortcut you would like to use If you would like to, you can save the settings by clicking on save button in the top right corner. As soon as you close the settings it will be applied to the corresponding application. You are set to use it in the selected application. Hope this helps... See screenshot attached. Quote
