Tupaia Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Hello! The arrow keys and page up/down could be put to better use in the Layer Studio (or am I missing something?). 1 - When you hover the cursor over the layer studio, arrows and page up/down could select the next/previous item in the list. Left/right arrow keys could move up/down a hierarchy. 2 - Holding some modifier key (SHIFT etc.) while pressing up/down arrows could MOVE the selected element(s) in the list (as opposed to SELECTING next/previous). For both, it should not be necessary to click-set focus on the layer studio. Just hovering should do. Thanks!

Old Bruce Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 I agree, and here comes the but... some things you select in the layer's panel select it on the canvas and then the arrow keys move it on the canvas. Though I do agree that some way of implementing your method would be great that 'but' remains.

Aammppaa Posted May 25, 2019 Share Posted May 25, 2019 Agree that some form of moving up/down in/out of the layers tree via the keyboard would be very welcome. The only command that I am aware of is Ctrl+Alt+[ and Ctrl+Alt+] which moves between siblings. I'd also like to jump into and out of all types of container (groups, layers, constraint groups, symbols, artboards etc).

designerPIX Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 My need is Just hover move up and down. Layer should be in same position. FOr example we want to seach some paerticular layer... scroll mouse may ups and down instanly. but using arrow or any key to step by step movement to find exact layer easily.
