Switching from Frame Text Editing to Move Tool


Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.
