Can't find an equivalent for it in Affinity. NOTE 3: The biggest disappointment for me: Hide edges. For now you just have to know Illustrator CC 2021

NOTE 2: I may come back and actually write in the shortcut keys here for reference. NOTE 1: Anywhere the Illustrator Equivalent was mapped, the default Affinity Designer shortcut may have been affected or removed. So I made this respond to the 'C' tool, and disassociated the corner tool. This is not a standard tool in Illustrator or a conventional reassignment in Affinity but I seem to be bringing a lot of pixel images onto my canvas and want to crop them.Object > Envelope Distort > Make with Top Object. Toggles with the Node Tool using the 'A' key A simple list of common shortcuts for Adobe Illustrator 2021.It is just bound to 'O' and toggles with the Contour tool Does not respond to Shift-O like Illustrator.Note: I have only tested this for very basic compound paths.Make a compound, and then select 'subtract' in Affinity's layer palette for the item you just compounded. You can achieve the same thing, but there is an extra step to get Illustrator's default behavior. Beware: compound paths behave a differently in Affinity than Illustrator.It's less of a hurdle for me since I use duplicate and Transform again a lot, and they are related functions. So it seemed to make the most sense to me for this shortcut to map this to CMD-D in Affinity. And some other apps use CMD-D for duplicate. Illustrator uses CMD-J for 'join paths' and CMD-D for 'transform again.' Affinity Designer contains its 'Transform Again' feature as a subordinate function of Duplicate.

You're likely transitioning between Adobe and Affinity for good, so it might make more sense to just learn the way Affinity does it.īut here are some of the wins as I see it – items that activate more closely to key functions in Illustrator (as of CC 2021): I think there are a non-trivial number of differences between the apps, such that a mapping between them creates a Frankenstein-ian problem: the set of shortcuts is neither Illustrator, nor Designer. So frankly, I'm not sure it's the best, or going to help much. I didn't really spend all that much time on it, and I am very new to Affinity Designer.

I also have a Logitech Performance MX mouse with their Control Center software installed, but I've disabled it for testing.I went through and made a shortcut preset file for Affinity Designer, attempting to map its functions to my best-guess equivalents for Illustrator.

I'm using a Microsoft Natural Ergonomic 4000 keyboard with Intellitype Pro installed, and Windows 7 64-bit. So, it seems that something is globally preventing the Ctrl+ Y combination (and ONLY that combination) from working properly.

For programs where Ctrl+Y is not the shortcut for Redo (in Adobe Illustrator, Ctrl+ Y switches to Outline view), the shortcut still does not work.

Any additional combination of keys works fine ( Ctrl+ Alt+ Y, Ctrl+ Alt+ Shift+ Y, etc).

Both the Ctrl and Y keys work fine independently of each other.

Choosing the same command from the menu works (such as Edit > Redo).

When using my Windows 7 PC, the Ctrl+ Y keyboard shortcut does nothing.
