Jakey Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 HI - Am trying publisher for our village magazine. Is there any way of getting the pointer to revert back to the move/select tool after creating or editing a text box? At the moment it leaves it in text box mode so I try to select something else and it creates a box. It's annoying that I have to remember to select the move tool everytime. IN pageplus this wasn't an issue. Any help appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 20, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hi Jakey, Welcome to Affinity Forums Press ESC once to leave editing mode, then V to change to the Move Tool.

Clicking on something with the text box tool usually does select it rather than creating a box. 1 hour ago, Jakey said: It's annoying that I have to remember to select the move tool everytime. Moving the pointer close to the bounding box of the selected object gives you the ability to move it even with the text box tool selected. 1 hour ago, MEB said: Press ESC once to leave editing mode, then V to change to the Move Tool. I think he means automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted February 20, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 20, 2019 If you wish to move the text frame while editing it, mouse-over the text-frame bounding box (the blue line) and the cursor should change to a move cursor as fde101 pointed out. Click and drag to move the text frame. I misunderstood your post. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
