TKucey Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Hi all! Is there a keyboard shortcut to hide your Selection - WITHOUT deleting it? It was invaluable to me in Photoshop so i can do fine pixel movements of something and actually see where it is, instead of the moving selection outlines or in Affinity's case; those + the blue outlines. thanks!

walt.farrell Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I'm not at my computer right now, but a vague memory suggests that Ctrl+H (Cmd+H on Mac) will hide the marching ants, if that helps. Look on the Select menu, which may have the menu entry for it.

Gunny Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 As far as I can remember there is a small difference between AP and Photoshop. The hidden state in Photoshop affected only the current selection - i.e. when I hid the selection and then I made another selection it was immediately visible. The state of selection in AP is global so if you hide the selection and then make a new selection you don't see it until you change the settings back. It makes sense but I think the Adobe way is a bit more practical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsabelAracama Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Is this still possible? I go to shortcuts and it won't allow me to add a shortcut for this particular thing. Quote isabelaracama.com Youtube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 12 Staff Share Posted September 12 @IsabelAracama, This command is only available in Affinity Photo. Are you using Designer? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsabelAracama Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Hi! No, I'm using Photo Quote isabelaracama.com Youtube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 12 Staff Share Posted September 12 It's working fine for me in v2.5.5. Which letter (or combination of letters) are you trying to set as the shortcut? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsabelAracama Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 I'm also using v2.5.5 - The problem is that I cannot add the shortcut like I've done many times before for other tools and actions. When I double-click on the placeholder rectangle, it won't do a thing. Might be doing it wrong now? Pls, see attachment.

Staff MEB Posted September 12 Staff Share Posted September 12 It's only that one that doesn't let you input anything in the field? Can you set one for Show Column Guides for example? Does it still happen if you restart the app? Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsabelAracama Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 Hi again, No, I can't input any shortcut. I updated AP yesterday, before that, all was fine as far as I remember. Restarting won't help. Quote isabelaracama.com Youtube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
