Having a German keyboard I changed [] for the brush size to . Big disadvantage: you have to do that for every brush size: paint brush, selection brush, Inpaint, refine selection and some more 😢
I tried with the plugins. I did not need to have a photo open to put in a new keyboard shortcut. It looks like the plugins hierarchy is related to the first item in your plugin list. Yours was Alien Skin however mine was Nik, as Nik is at the top of my plugin list (alphabetically). I get the same warnings as you and when I tried it it picked a random plugin but I needed to quit it. It did not crash my programme. Hope this helps when you mention it to Serif
Thanks for sharing your experience. I've just had word back from the person asking me how to do this. He had reported this to Serif and they say that it's a know problem on their list. Fingers crossed for a future fix as I can see myself using this.
If i want for example apply "D" to Brush, as its more convenient, i get the yellow triangle, but when I click on it It wont tell me where the shortcut has been used before, and its super tedious to go thorugh all these sub-menus. What can I do to just override and ignore the old shortcut?
Try opening an image in each of the Personas and pressing D to see what it does (it doesn't seem to do anything for me). That would help you identify how the shortcut is being used. Another option if you haven't changed other shortcuts already is to reset them in the Preferrences. You should then be free to change it. You could even save your current settings before you do this to return to them if you need to.
I would really like a Keyboard Shortcut for Publisher, to get me back to the Tools. I know I can mouse-click to do this, but I'm finding it quite cumbersome to mouse-click off-page and then select a Tool. Why can't there be a Keyboard Shortcut, in Text mode, to get me back to Tools?
Sorry, whilst I use Publisher I'm not a power user. I would suggest posting this question on the Affinity Publisher Forum (forum.affinity.serif.com/). The team there do monitor the forums and often have a solution. If not, it may be one to submit tehre as an enhancement request.
Things must have changed in Affinity Photo 2 Mac. It's called "Settings" now and looks nothing like that. There's no "grid" Layout option in pref window. :(
The video was recorded befoe Affinity Photo 2 was released. In AP2 the Settings dialog was changed and expanded. It still includes the settings from AP1 but other settings have been added. The different settings are in a list down the left of the dialog rather than being grouped under the icons. If you want to configure the grid, don't use the Preferences. Use the View menu at the top of the Photo Persona screen and select the Grid and Axis option.

What a great keyboard shortcut. Hmm, I can't think of a way around needing to enter it for each Brush type though. That's painful.
I tried your steps starting at 6:00 and couldn't get any plugins to show at all in preferences. I use the older version of the NIK plugins.
Thanks. I've since been advised that this is a known problem. Fingers crossed it will be fixed in a future release. It would be useful.

Is this apply to iPad keyboard?
If you go into the Settings of Affinity for iPad you will find the Keyboard shortcuts there.
@@RobinWhalley thank you sir 🙏👍
@@imzaazmi You're welcome
Tried assigning my "x" keyboard shortcut to D, then saving it. It did not work. I even tried restarting Affinity Photo after changing it, no results.
Both the X and D keys are already assigned in Affinity Photo. You would need to change them both rather than just one.

Now someone just needs to make a config file with the Photoshop keyboard commands.
There isn't much difference between the Affinity Photo defaults and Photoshop anyway.
