Affinity Designer Keyboard Shortcuts Cheat Sheet

IMG_0208.jpeg

I found Affinity Designer about two years ago when I was searching for alternatives to the Adobe suite. I won’t get into specifics as to why I switched here, but suffice it to say, I am glad I did. Over the last two years, I've learned most of Designer's keyboard shortcuts, but there are still some I still forget about. Enter cheat sheets. Cheat sheets are not only a great to learn shortcuts but can save time and build proficiency in the process. As I was looking around for some online, I couldn't find any that were simple and to the point. So I decided to create my own. 

My goal with the cheat sheet was to make it small enough to fit easily on a desk or take with you if need be. Ninety-eight percent of the shortcuts are stock, but I did throw in a couple of my custom shortcuts to the list. I found the ability to add custom shortcuts not that long ago, but it has been a real game-changer. It has already saved me a lot of wasted time fumbling through menus to find the right action. You can download my cheat sheet from the link below. Happy designing!
