    @Ayo said in About the Snap feature: Wouldn't it be better to change "Snap to Visible Only" to "Snap to View Extend Only" or shorter "Snap to Viewport Only" or even shorter "Snap to View Only" ? There is a big chance of confusion with the term 'visible' which is mainly linked to the layer system. I added this to the backlog.

    @Jayanta-Das said in Reconsider some value sliders: In Affinity Designer it is Alt+Ctrl+Left Click and drag. This is very usefull if I set this key press combination in Wacom pen button then I can simply click the button, hover over and move left and right to resize brush. Recording Problem with these Affinity multi-key shortcuts are that they are so easy to forget and incredibly annoying to hold down. Photoshop + Capture One Pro: right click, easy to use pop-up with options and preview of size (at least in CO), done. Impossible to forget, easy to use.

    In Color panel there is a lag between opacity slider movement and object's opacity change. On the other hand, in Object/Object Options pop up, there is smooth opacity change - that's I like - but lag with slider circle.

    @Ingolf said in Toggle shortcut for Greyscale display mode: I could easily live with a static one with a 'refresh' button. This is easily doable, as image histogram extraction and histogram view (separately) already exists.

    @Raven Added this to the backlog. Not sure about the floating panel mode. Maybe having a different "mode" set from the panel menu, for the existing Transform panel

    @Boldline Something similar can already be done using object reference, or maybe a reference to a layer, and then transforming / mirroring the reference.

    @Pat Yes, I think these could go into the Panels -> Text submenu.

    @Boldline Yes, this is doable, and already exists in a different form. Select multiple palette files in Finder and drag&drop over the VS window.

    @VectorStyler Please make sure it snaps to points, grid, guidelines, whatever is enabled in the Snapping panel.

    @Pat said in Colour hex code: why is it necessary to type #?: @VectorStyler Thank you (was wondering whether it was on purpose in VS). It is on purpose, and I have to figure out a good solution. The main role of this field is to be able to copy/paste hex colors, and that always comes with the # mark. But plain input should not need the # mark. So I think the best solution would be to allow plain input without the # mark, but once confirmed, the # is added to the start.

    @VectorStyler said in Clicking Artboard tool on grouped art creates new exact size artboard: The click will not work if there is an artboard underneath. I agree - there would need to not be an artboard underneath in order for it to work. I like the dual option of double-clicking on the unselected item to create the perfect artboard fit and also what @b77 suggested with selecting multiple items and getting artboards for each at one time

    @Blunieb Control (Win) or Command (Mac) indeed does that also but it's temporary toggle β€” when you release the key you're back to the active tool.

    @Boldline There is a slower version of this (more steps) in VS already: create a Grid shape (no fill, only stroke) setup the grid parameters (columns / rows) set a larger stroke width (for spacing) expand stroke of the grid. exclude the result from the other shape.

    @VectorStyler Terrific! this would really be handy. In my head I was thinking it could be toggled easily by a button on the upper right corner. that way it could be easy to access. Ideally, keyboard shortcuts alone would not return it to all panels in view state. once we have three-four keyboard shortcut ability, that could be added there is space is an issue on the main UI

    @VectorStyler said in New View -Option to pop out: Bit not clear what "view in panel" produce? These views contain a document that is editable in that view. And this cannot be created in a panel. View in tab and view in window should suffice. That makes sense why a panel option would not work. The idea i was thinking was that it was more of a look-in rather than a full fledged editable copy and that it could sit overtop the design like panels do. so if you were working on the main design, the smaller copy could be placed wherever you wanted to view it for reference and it would not get lost behind the main open tab file. the option to set the new view in a new window should work just fine for this - i'll just put it on a second screen. or i'll utilize the view options to place them side by side, etc...

    @Boldline said in Improving Brush Presets Panel: The brush shape selector in the contextual menu panel at the top seems to list all the brush presets - but it does not divide them up. The list could also potentially become very long the more brushes you add to the brush preset panel. Yes, this can be a problem. I will try to improve these panels.

    @mspacemedia said in Repeaters Future Add-ons: to fill then have a best fit mode to calculate the space for each element? This feature is not yet implemented. And it probably will come only after 1.2 Bit it is possible to arrange multiple shapes, or symbols using random positioning.
