Is there any reason why "CTRL+A" to select the text does not work in AP Frametext while editing text (It does in AD)? ... unless it's a feature I consider this a bug ;-)

Cheers,

Timo

Ctrl+A works as expected for me in both beta build 1.6.0.70 and release build 1.5.2.69. You should also be able to select all of the text in the frame with a quadruple-click.

Works in all AD and in the AP final ... does not work in the latest beta 1.6.0.70! Double and tripple (i guess that's what you meant with quadruple :-) ) does not work either in the beta. Does in the final ...

No, I really did mean quadruple! Quadruple-clicking does the same as Ctrl+A: it should select all of the text in the frame. Triple-clicking selects the text in the current paragraph, so you won't see any difference if you triple-click or quadruple-click when there is only one paragraph in the frame.

Ah, OK ... but that's a more or less common functionality in windows ... since either CTRL+A nor quadruple clicking works in the latest beta ... would be good to solve this ;-)

I wonder if this is a software language specific problem?

Ctrl+A still works for me if I switch to the German language interface (but that's on an English version of Windows, of course).

Double click select one word, 3 click selects one line 4 clicks selects all as with ctrl + A Affinity 1.5.2  and beta 1.6.0.71 running Win 10

Interesting, on AP beta .71 All clicking options to select text work for me but Ctrl+A doesn't work.

 

 

Edit: Ctrl+A does work in release AP 1.5.2.69 so for me this is a bug in beta .71

For me CTRL+a works on AP beta .71 in frame text to select the entire text, including multiple paragraphs. I'm on a german keyboard with language set to german (Windows and AP).

 

It seems there must be something else involved.

 

I enclose a simple document in which I tested this.

Hi Dominik, tried your file, All clicking options to select text work but Ctrl+A doesn't work. Exactly the same as my file test.

I think you are correct there must be something else involved, a system/AV setting or something maybe, going to do a bit of googling :)

 

PS On screen keyboard doesn't work either so its not a keyboard fault.

 

Regards

Interesting. Perhaps you can check the settings of AP's keyboard shortcuts. Maybe something got lost or confused?

Ah! that's a really good shout dominik I recently set up some ctrl+ zoom settings maybe I typo'd will check when I get home. (This would also explain how the release version does work for me)

Well added Crtl+A to 'Select All' (which was blank) and it's working now! no idea if I've broken anything else in doing that but I'm sure I'll find out soon enough :)

 

I also removed Crtl+A from 'Select All' and it stopped working so it would seem that is the fix although Mark's comment above may suggest something else is going on.

Just noticed

So did a reset and fixed that, no idea where the duplicate setting was.

 

It's too late now, of course, if you've already done a reset, but hovering over the yellow triangle would have given you a tooltip telling you what the duplicate was.

Good to hear.

 

It will be interesting if DarkClown can fix this that way, too.

@dominik: CTRL+A was not assigned in my key-assignments. I added it to "Select All" and it works afterwards ... but frankly spoken: this is a windows feature and not an Affinity assigned shortcut! So assigning it to a shortcut should not be necessary ... (And in case it needs to be selected as an affinity keyboard assignment - why isn't this set as default ???)

 

Cheers, Timo

I agree.

 

Interestingly in my install it is set as a default. I have no clue why this happened on your computer.
