reminous 33 Posted June 25, 2015 Hi guys, Question... is there any shorcut, or shortcut combo to fill a marquee selection or we always have to use the "Flood Fill Tool"? Thanks, Reminous 2 Josephmt and Dranikieroge reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MEB 7,031 Posted June 25, 2015 Hi Reminous, No, there's no shortcut available yet. With a selection active you can also go to menu Layer ▹ New Fill Layer to fill the active selection, then change the color to whatever you want.

CorkyO 7 Posted June 25, 2015 Just wanted to say +1 for a keyboard shortcut for filling a selection (e.g., Option + Delete for primary (foreground in PS) and Command + Delete for secondary (background in PS)). Use those all the time in PS and am really missing that feature in Photo at the moment! :( 3 starboypro, Nickfranken and GrayFH reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy Somerfield 2,286 Posted June 26, 2015 Hi, Shift+F5 will open the Edit -> Fill tool - but I agree, a fast way to fill with primary / secondary would be useful.. Thanks, Andy. 3 A_B_C, Frank Jonen and anon1 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gammprog 2 Posted December 5, 2016 You can set a custom keyboard shortcut to edit > fill That's ok. But it still takes many more clicks (keyboard or mouse) just to do a simple fill using the foreground colour... A one button shortcut which just fills with the foreground colour (and another for background) reduces the friction and makes it quick and easy to do masking work... At the moment this is one thing that would possible prevent me from buying Affinity Photo for Windows once it exits beta (yes it might sound petty, but a few extra clicks over the many, many fill operations starts getting really annoying, especially when it wasn't before moving to Affinity Photo).

furtonb 23 Posted March 10, 2017 1. Settings 2. Keyboard Shortcuts 3. Miscellaneous 4. Set Fill to Black and White cheers Yup, I think we know that. If you have a selection (e.g. on a mask), and press option/command+backspace, like you would in PS, can you set this to ,,Fill selected area with Primary/Secondary colour"? I think most of us miss this. (D,X, alt/cmd+backspace is so deep in my muscle memory, that this missing (or well hid) feature amost hurts!) 1 Nickfranken reacted to this MBP 15" + iPad Pro 10,5" macOS High Sierra 10.13 | iOS 11 | latest Affinity Photo & Designer & Publisher Beta Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil_rose 87 Posted December 7, 2017 I definitely plus1 for this.I create a curves layer, for example, add a mask to the curves layer and then want to fill that with black so that the effect effects nothing before I then paint in where I want to to affect. I do this so often it seems so basic that this should be a keyboard shortcut. I like turtles!

Aloof 10 Posted October 7, 2018 I would also like to see this. It's a pain you cannot map a shortcut to this for masking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarituulia 4 Posted November 17, 2018 Any update on this feature? Would be useful and is a standard in other software. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
