Hi Brian and @lowell.
Today I ran into some issues with the new text editing behaviour.
I realise it’s probably better to collect them here as well.
Overall I see the advantages of the new system. However the downside I experienced is a loss of agility in editing texts. It’s probably partially fixable and partially the price we have to pay.
Text font editing - #7 by Willem
These 2 I realised later are based on the same restrictions. There is no way without explicitly swipe selecting text in the editor to modify text on the fly.
In other words: where previously I could set only all text of a text object in a certain style font or size. In the WIP I need to explicitly select the portion of a text I want to modify.
So we lost the ability to quickly modify the style of all tect in a (selection of) text object(s). This is now handled via styles.
I’d opt for the text editor to work on all of the textstring when no subselection is made. So if I select multiple text objects and hit bold in the editor, all of the text in the text objects will be set bold.
Hope this makes sense
Thanks
