YA Gaudet Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 We can already set shortcuts to switch between different personas, and that works perfectly fine. But the way your applications are designed makes it so that we sometimes have to switch between them for only a single step. I think having the option to use shortcuts to move the file to AP/AD or APub and then back would make the process smoother (I know we can already do it manually via the menu, but having a shortcut would makes your suite feel more like one big application/way more interlinked). I'd greatly appreciate that .. and thanks for all your work, I really enjoy your apps! PS: oh and this suggestions is for the Desktop versions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hello @YA Gaudet and welcome to the forum. As you say, the menu option already exists, and you can set your own keyboard shortcut if you desire… Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > Edit in Photo / Designer You may also be interested that Publisher (due on 19th June) has Designer and Photo Personas embedded, which, if you own all 3 apps, will combine to make a giant robot one super app!

YA Gaudet Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hey @Aammppaa thank you! Thats is nice to hear! Currently I have only AP and AD, so the shortcut does not display in my settings. Will the feature be available when running Designer/Photo or only when in Publisher? If it will be available in all three apps that is exactly what I've been wanting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 The screenshot I posted was from Designer - so you should be able to set a shortcut to do what you ask already. You can do likewise in Photo. The extended functionality (all 3 apps in one) is (for now at least) an exclusive feature of Publisher.

YA Gaudet Posted June 9, 2019 Author Share Posted June 9, 2019 Oh guess I have to wait for the next update then, in 1.7.0 (Mac) it does not show for me. (Or maybe it only displays if you have publisher installed/or it is a windows-only feature for now.) Anyways thanks for the reply! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, don't underestimate the memory of a goldfish! This appears to be a shortcut for Publisher that has snuck its way in! Good catch!

The Document Setup shortcut works fine, even when the Spread Setup shortcut conflicted with it. Other than causing a system beep, the Spread Setup shortcut is simply ignored.

I have it logged but I'm still waiting for a response at this point in time, I'd imagine the developers have their plates full at the moment with the recent launch I will give them a poke if I don't hear anything soon.
