Short Cuts (the Apple way)

[David]

I use Indesign quite heavily for book and magazine layout I produce for a range of publishers, so would like to think I know my short cuts and my way around around Indesign. but this does make me struggle formatting lots of copy when jumping back to Affinity (example left aligning I would typically hit cmd L which is not so in Affinity Designer).

 

So Affinity is done the Apple way, which is not bad if you start fresh, but I have a sneaky feeling this will put off switches handy in shortcuts from Indesign and Illustrator to the upcoming Affinity Publisher and Affinity Designer if all the short cuts need re-learning from the off start. 

 

So my question is this....Is it possible to have Adobe shortcuts as an toggled option in preferences?

Hi David,

I think all shortcut issues will be addressed when customizable shortcuts becomes available. Everyone will be able to configure them to suit their own needs no matter if they match Adobe, Corel or whatever preference they may have.

Brilliant stuff :)

...and I suspect the very first thing people will do, is create exact matches for all shortcuts in their other favourite software, save the files and share them on the forum! ;)

Matt you are probably correct. If it leads people to Affinity or eases the transition it's a good thing!  :)
