Jhonatan S Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 hi, I've been using affinity designer since 1 full year, so I think it's time to place my thoughts here as professional User, for long period of work I really miss more customization by the user side, as I work with vector pieces, sometimes is really time-consuming to click on the buttons to apply some simple changes, so I think the toolbar top options should also be available to apply as hotkey, because I can't see these options as option to use in my keyboard. I think this would be very helpful during my daily work and for all users as well. thanks hawk, raptor, Rudolphus and 1 other 4 Quote Learn more: 🔴Youtube: Vectorize with JhonFollow me: 📷 Instagram | Twitter | 📘 FacebookFree Affinity Assets: https://gumroad.com/jhonsilva

fde101 Posted September 11, 2019 Posted September 11, 2019 I think the whole scheme should be redone. Consider that the program could have a set of named "actions", and that menu items, toolbar items, etc. could *all* be tied to those items. A given action could have: An "internal" action name (ex. toolVectorBrush) A user-visible toolbar icon / menu item name (ex. "Vector Brush") A "category" (ex. "Tools") A short description for the user (ex. "Select the Vector Brush tool") One or more personas in which the action is valid A toolbar button icon (Internally) the code to perform the action An associated help URL / text / however it is set up (for context-sensitive help) Then take this pool of actions: Any action with a toolbar icon associated with it (as many as feasible) could be dragged onto a toolbar. Any action with a icon/menu name could be added to custom pull-down menus. Any action could have a keyboard shortcut assigned. The action names could be used as one entry point for plugin / scripting support. Plugins and user scripts could register additional actions and hook into the UI in the same manner as the built-in ones. Just some food for thought... Jhonatan S 1 Quote
