bordercross Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 I am used to working in Pages which allows one to easily switch from editing text to the pointer or Move Tool by simply clicking outside of the text edit frame. In Affinity Publisher when I do this it just attempt to draw another text frame. Is there a quick, intuitive way to switch from editing text to the Move Tool? Quote
Old Bruce Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Hit the Escape key a couple of times, the first gets your cursor out of the text and the second deselects the text frame itself. Then hit V for the move tool or what ever you wish to use.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
bordercross Posted June 26, 2019 Author Posted June 26, 2019 Bummer, I figured that was the answer but was hoping for a setting that would allow the Text Editing cursor to auto snap back to the Move Tool like Pages. Quote
thomaso Posted June 26, 2019 Posted June 26, 2019 Just a note: With the text cursor you can hover over the frame edges to get a double-arrow cursor. That enables you to move the text frame without leaving the text tool. Quote • MacBookPro Retina 15" | macOS 10.14.6 | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 • iPad 10.Gen. | iOS 18.5. | Affinity V2.6
f0ff886f Posted July 8, 2019 Posted July 8, 2019 It would be great to get an option where the escape key applies edits and resets to the move tool in one key stroke (obviously not on by default to not mess with users used to the existing flow). brunoczech 1 Quote
