VectorCat Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 To click on a tool icon where there are more tools - necessitating the flyout - you must click and hold even if the tool you want is already displayed. If I want one of the other tools, I must hold until the flyout appears, select the too, I want. But (imho) I shouldn’t have to do that if the tool I want already has its icon as the one displayed for that toolset. I’m a big key command fan, but there are times when I like to see and click icons, too. edit: I’m having a different experience with the flyouts just now..it’s inconsistent..sometimes I have to hold down the flyout just to select the tool whose icon is already showing, sometimes not, Quote
RNKLN Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 My experience: Click the icon and the visible tool is used. Click the little triangle bottom right and the fly-out opens. Click the icon and hold also opens the fly-out. Quote Affinity Photo - Affinity Designer - Affinity Publisher | macOS Sonoma (14.5) on 16GB MBP14 2021 with 2.5.X versions
Gradient_Phil Posted July 2, 2019 Posted July 2, 2019 Another possibility is too customise the toolbar (there are not many icons) using "View" "Customise Toolbar" I'm also a big keyboard cmd fan Quote Windows 10 Pro (Desktop). Affinity Photo, Designer, Publisher 1.9.2

It just differs depending on if you click on the tool icon itself or the triangle in the lower right corner -- clicking on the triangle immediately opens the fly-out; otherwise you have to click & hold on the icon & wait briefly for the fly-out to appear.
