any suggestion for the shortcut to be used? |
|
As F4 is now used for text properties, I suggest F5 or F7 as a shortcut for the Align and distribute window. |

i'm not sure that a default shortcut is still needed... first: i love shortcuts. but, personally, i don't really like the F-keys... a few of them (F2, F3, F5) are somehow useful, but they're so far away and they do not really relate to the action or dialog. also, now that we have an "action search" tool you can press ctrl-/ and type a few letters to easily get to a command / dialog. for "align and distribute", i just tried and for me the simple solution i've found is to type "dis" and confirm with enter. alt-/ dis enter ... that seems to be simple enough. of, course, every user is free to define a shortcut for "align and distribute". but i'm not sure that by default we still need to attach a F-key to it. i suggest to close this ticket... |

I was not aware of the action search tool! i am used to that from IntelliJ IDEA and VS Code, so that is very convenient! I was also not aware of the option to set custom keyboard shortcuts (i realize I have a lot to learn about Scribus) but when I found this issue I thought I could add that for me it would be useful to have a shortcut key for it. Agree that it can be closed as long as there are plenty of other options to achieve it. |
