[SOLVED] Keyboard shortcuts added to photo but not implemented in designer yet


Recommended Posts

It is great that the keyboard shortcuts have been added to AP for those of us who use a keyboard with the iPad, but it would be nice if these could be added to AD as well for consistency but especially for cmd+j power duplicate functionality. Maybe even more important going forward with rumours of mouse support coming to IOS13.

@Paul Mudditt Paul is it only the keys outlined in red that work the Shortcuts?

They are supposed to be in 1.7.1.0 :) Unfortunately I don’t have a keyboard to test them with. They haven't been added to help file yet but Photo Help has been updated.

This does not make much sense to me, as it is "b" for brush in every program, including the desktop and APh?

It would be very nice to be able to customize these shortcuts as I can on the desktop, as everyones workflows are different after all.

Nice!!

Will we also be able to use modifier keys? For instance, on desktop you can hold shift or alt before drawing a shape to activate certain constraints, is going to be available with this update? 

Additionally, when can we expect to see all of the desktop keyboard shortcuts/modifiers ported to the iPad. It’s something that woudl definitely improve the overall experience especially now that we have the ability to use a mouse in IpadOS.

 

thanks.

You know what, I just tried it and the modifier keys (shift, command, etc) work!!!! CRAZY!!! This just made things a lot more faster to work with!!! 

Not sure how many more of the shortcuts are left to bring over, but this is definitely a really big step in the right direction!!

thanks for listening to the feedback!!

Very cool.

An option to customize these would be amazing.

Also, a touch/pen gesture to deselect :) Maybe I'll get used to the X. 

Another would be to hold one finger down to draw a straight line with the paintbrush. 

Stil learning designer but I'm so glad I found it.

Thank you!!
