@vectoradmin Yes, it refers to the "Envelope" shape Transform cage. I try the way you have described. And thanks for adding the copy/paste Shape

@mickrose I will find a solution for this.

@Ingolf If the objects are grouped, then add a fill using the Appearance panel (first + icon at the bottom). Click on the fill color, and select Gradient mode, and select a gradient preset. (not working with the gradient tool, will try to fix that).

I guess baseline or ascent line alignment by default should also extend to grouped text objects.

@Boldline Got the file! Thanks!

Just to point it out, this could easily be a customization option. Rather than being just group/ungroup, consider an option to pick from the existing toolbar commands and add smaller versions of them to the bounding box, on a selected side of it, perhaps specifying which ones should appear for a given type of object, or when there are multiple objects selected, etc. It would basically turn an edge of the bounding box into another customizable toolbar.

@Ingolf said in Inspiration - interactive perspective feature: The visual approach has the advantage, though, that you can play freely with it and visualize all kinds of perspectives live and fast. True.

@Ingolf Somewhat different, but once the drop shadow is added in VS, it can be edited interactively (as most effects): https://recordit.co/j2gt7ZERqT

@Boldline The color drag&drop between palettes has been added in build 1.1.008

@Boldline This feature has been added in build 1.1.008

Maybe relevant: Sliders and their position

@Subpath said in A way to show Keyboard Shortcuts: @Ingolf In Cavalry it shows only the shortcuts to the relevant tool. Yes, of course it shall only show shortcuts for the active tool. That is the point of that info. Just like the information shown in the status bar in Affinity or Inkscape about shortcut keys for the active tool - but displayed like this instead: [image: 1642153669334-8e9e9997-374d-40cb-92ed-0d9371bc1d69-image.png] But in VS there could also be a switch in the preferences to turn this on or off. Yes, also in the preferences but not only. I would myself (want to) enable or disable it quickly several times a day without going all the way to preferences. It might also be helpful if we could set the transparency of the text info individually. Indeed.

@Ingolf Added this to the backlog.

@Boldline said in Repeaters additional options: This would be an alternating grid: That can be achieved by setting the first Shift value to 50% and setting a negative spacing.

@vectoradmin It is my present solution, which works quite well, but it is certainly not universal. Requires external application installation, customization, is less efficient, sometimes glitch occurs Is the result of using point 1. more universal, will work with most pointing devices easier to remember shortcuts and reduce the number of them may improve the use of the stylus may improve your experience when using a touchscreen device it gives good possibilities for further expansion uses the current drag mechanics. In the case of point 3, I see a lot of imperfections in this solution and it may turn out that it will be faster to point to the classic align panel than to look at the keyboard to trigger a popup I don't know if it will speed up the workflow or if it will be precise enough for everyone. The amount of features available is already overwhelming for new users, but I think together we can create some points that will be unique to VS

Adjusting my chef toque here… Well, if the developer would allow these small tool panels to be docked like this on top of the toolbox, would that be bad? [image: 1641406018771-stacked.png]

@vectoradmin Thank you! that makes sense now. I appreciate you showing me

@Boldline I add this to the feature request backlog. Technically, it is doable.
