bebez71 Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Sorry for the dumb question, but how use the keyboard shortcut in mac for the Preview mode? I don't know how to perform the requested shortcut ^W Bernard@Johnson71 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you need to hold down the Ctrl key, press and release the W key and then release the Ctrl key.

bebez71 Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the reply, I've tried all the keys, but won't work. Ctrl W Option W (alt W) cmd W Shift W Edit: I tried changing hot keys in the preferences, using "Options W" and it works, but if I reset it to "Ctrl W", it doesn't work. Does it happen to someone else? Edited April 29, 2019 by bebez71 Bernard@Johnson71 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 That's strange. Ctrl-w does work for me. Just in case: You might take a look for Ctrl-w in your system-preferences > keyboard > shortcuts to exclude that it got defined there. Also, at least for test, you could try to define there a ctrl-w shortcut for Publisher.

bebez71 Posted April 29, 2019 Author Share Posted April 29, 2019 In keyboard preferences there are no shortcut with the combination "ctrl w". Also define a "ctrl w" in system preferences for Publisher has no effect. Then I've tried also change to "ctrl q" in Publisher preference and it works. For now I will use it with that shortcut, but it's really odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Might have something to do with non-English keyboard. Perhaps you should report this in Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.1 | Affinity Photo 2.4.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomaso Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Again but this time to exclude an operating system preference related issue: can you use ctrl-w in Publisher when you boot the computer as another user?

Why not just assign a different shortcut in the preferences? Having it set to Control + W is not a requirement.

thomaso Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 Just in case: In the meantime, I have reduced my key shortcut to the letter w only. Since I don't toggle with the active text cursor, it works charming without the need for an additional modifier key.
