Sometimes to use that shortcut we have to use left hand for shift + right hand for Enter. Look… pressing Shift+Enter force designer/user to leave his/her hand from the mouse. Imagine those tools made for producing UX/UI solutions but they don’t have some basics in their own interfaces. But we can ability to change ancient AWSD keys if you wand can’t we? Design apps behave opposite way. It is like changing AWSD keys of gamers and don’t let them change those keys. But today, every design app try to change them. It is not “cool” trust me.Īfter many years some keys became fixed in designers brains and fingers. And beside that please get rid of above idea. Simply because that functionality is needed tons of times while designing. I tried to learn them million times and today I’m writing this command because I still can’t use double keys shortcut to reach to parent. The stupid idea is “Lets force people to use unchangeable shortcuts.” I worked with Sketch for 2 years. The Enter key kinda does this for stepping down…the ESC key is the logical choice to step up.ĭesign App developers have weird idea.
It’s far more tedious to traverse many layers and the ability to reliably step up/down would be useful.
While deselecting everything is sometimes useful, it’s easy to click on the artboard or an area with no objects if that’s what you want to do. Command+click works - and is useful for text overrides, for example - but tapping the ESC key is a global deselect function. Currently, I have to click/double-click on the element repeatedly until I reach the button (but not too deep or I’ll select the text which cannot be “nudged” with the arrow keys to move the button).Ī trick I used often in Sketch is to command+click to directly jump to the deepest level, then tap the ESC key to go up one level where I can nudge to my heart’s content. Like most users, I end up with many layers (often in nested groups) and sometimes I just want to back “up” one level to apply some settings, or nudge it with the keyboard, etc.įor example: I have a button (component) that is buried some levels down inside a few different nested groups, and I want to nudge it a few pixels to the left.
