Graymare Posted June 30, 2019 Posted June 30, 2019 Mac OS Mojave 10.14.5, Affinity Photo 1.7.1 I'm pulling my hair out trying to figure out why Affinity Photo is behaving this way. I want to have pressing 'G' key on the keyboard ONLY activate the Flood Fill tool. I've been able to successfully reassign all the other keyboard shortcuts except for 'G'. No matter what I do, no matter how I configure the Preferences, G always activates the Gradient tool! I've tried: Resetting all the Keyboard shortcuts Clearing all the keyboard shortcuts Assigning Gradient to another key Assigning Gradient to no key Removing the Gradient tool from the Tools sidebar Activating the "Use ^ modifier to to cycle tools option" Deactivating the "Use ^ modifier to to cycle tools option" Nothing seems to work. Pressing 'G' on the keyboard always switches to the Gradient tool. Am I missing something? How do I get it to stop doing this? Quote

R C-R Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 I see the same issue in Affinity Photo 1.7.1 on my Mac. Even if enable "Use ⇧ to cycle tools", even if I set the keyboard shortcut for the Gradient Tool to something not used for anything else like "K" (which shows in the tooltip & works to switch to the Gradient Tool), or set the keyboard shortcut to nothing, G continues to activate the tool.

And it also doesn't work on a Mac. I have Gradient set to nothing, and "Use ^ Modifier to to cycle tools" but the hardbound 'G' for Gradient behaviour persists. Is this a bug? If so could someone please move this topic to the appropriate forum? I'd really like to be able to finish configuring Affinity to behave like the way I'm used to working, instead of getting hard-checked each time I try to switch to the Flood Fill and it doesn't activate the tool I expect. Edited July 1, 2019 by Graymare clarifying menu path is only applicable to Mac OS. Quote
